Pakistan Govt Loses Battle Over Vision of Jailed Ex-PM Imran Khan, Sister Says
Imran Khan's sister rejects Pakistan government's claim that the ex-PM's vision was fine while in jail, calling it a fabrication.
The sister of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has rejected the government's claim that his vision was fine when he was jailed for contempt, saying his family believes he suffered from 'poor eyesight' while in custody. The statement follows a government board's previous assertion that Khan had not suffered any significant damage to his eyes due to poor diet or lack of exercise during his imprisonment. The family's rejection adds fuel to ongoing speculation about the health and well-being of the former premier. The controversy has sparked renewed debate over Khan's treatment in jail.
