Fact check

The media outlet said “A story titled ‘Imran Khan’s right eye vision ‘improving’, says sister citing report’ was published by Dawn.com on February 16. We mistakenly ran the story quoting an impostor social media account purporting to be Noreen Niazi. We have since ascertained that the account is not authentic.”
Imran Khan to be shifted to hospital soon
The federal government earlier decided to transfer Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, Imran Khan, to a hospital.
Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said that the government has taken this decision in view of Imran Khan’s health.
In a tweet, he said, “The government prioritises humanitarian compassion and legal requirements. Providing facilities to every prisoner in accordance with the law is the government’s responsibility.”
“Politics should not be done on sensitive matters like health. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf should refrain from baseless propaganda or political point-scoring”, he added.
Imran Khan’s eye condition
Safdar, was the first visitor to Khan in seven weeks. He reported that his client’s condition was identified as a blood clot in his right eye. That resulted in significant damage that has left him with impaired vision.
He submitted a report outlining Khan’s condition to Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi and Justice Shahid Bilal Hasan.
According to Safdar, Khan was left “visibly perturbed and deeply distressed by the loss of vision and the lack of timely and specialised medical care.”
He requested that his client be evaluated by a team of expert ophthalmologists, be allowed to see his family, and have improved prison conditions.
The court decided that Khan should be permitted to consult with his personal physicians in Adiala Jail, where he is currently held, and be allowed to make phone calls to his sons, Kasim and Sulaiman.
