ISLAMABAD – The Supreme Court has received detailed reports on the prison conditions of former prime minister Imran Khan. The documents were submitted by PTI counsel Salman Safdar and the superintendent of Adiala Jail.
Salman Safdar, appointed as amicus curiae, met Imran Khan at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. He submitted a seven-page report outlining the state of the former prime minister’s cell, facilities, and his personal interaction with him.
The report highlighted several health concerns raised by Imran Khan, particularly issues with his eyesight. According to Safdar, Imran told him that “despite the treatment administered, including an injection, he has been left with only 15 per cent vision in his right eye.”
Imran Khan reportedly had normal vision until October 2025. He said his sight became blurred and hazy in subsequent months, but jail authorities did not take action after the complaint. Later, an ophthalmologist from PIMS Hospital diagnosed him with a blood clot that caused severe damage to his right eye.
Safdar described observing Imran Khan as visibly distressed during their meeting. “His eyes were watery, and he repeatedly used a tissue to wipe them, reflecting physical discomfort,” the lawyer told the court.
The report also mentioned gaps in medical care. Imran Khan stated that regular blood tests were not conducted during the relevant period, and his personal doctors were not allowed access despite repeated requests.
A medical report from Imran Khan’s family, dated February 6, confirmed the diagnosis of “right central retinal vein occlusion.” However, Safdar noted that the report did not provide full details of the episodes or identify the ophthalmologist who administered the treatment.
