Concern over health and prison conditions
Recently, some serious reports have come out regarding the condition of Imran Khan, in which it has been revealed that the vision of Imran Khan in his right eye has reduced by 85%. This was revealed in the investigation conducted on the orders of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. His son Suleman had told in December 2025 that his father has been kept in a very small cell, which is called 'Death Cell' (the cell of those sentenced to death).
Imran Khan is struggling with mental pressure
According to the report, Imran Khan has been kept in isolation in Adiala jail since October 2023. His lawyer told after the meeting that he appeared very upset and mentally under pressure. 73-year-old Imran also said that he was not allowed to get treatment from his personal doctors. His daily blood test was also not done. He was not even taken to a dentist in two years, although he demanded it several times.
Not only this, restrictions have been imposed on meeting his family and lawyers. After the recent change in jail administration, Imran's wife can now meet him for 30 minutes once a week.
