New Delhi, May 13: Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan,who is serving jail term in various cases, had reportedly lost vision in one eye due to alleged torture and is facing serious health concerns.
Speaking to reporters Pakistan Tehreek Insaf Party (PTI) General Secretary Salman Akram Raja claimed that all avenues of justice appeared closed, alleging that the PTI founder had remained imprisoned for nearly 1,000 days and was being denied basic constitutional and legal rights.
The remarks came days after Imran Khan underwent a fourth intravitreal eye injection at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) as part of continued medical treatment.
According to a report submitted to the Supreme Court by Khan’s lawyer and the court-appointed amicus curiae Salman Safdar, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan had been diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), a serious eye condition caused by blockage of the main vein draining blood from the retina. This condition is commonly associated with cardiovascular complications including hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease.
During the media interaction, Raja alleged that meetings between Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were being restricted despite court orders regarding visitation rights.
