Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has suffered a devastating loss of eyesight, severe health deterioration, and prolonged solitary confinement inside Adiala Jail, according to a damning report by a court-appointed lawyer that exposes what his aides described as “deliberate, inhuman, and illegal treatment” carried out under the watch of Pakistan’s powerful military establishment.
A detailed report prepared by the Supreme Court-appointed amicus curiae (friend of the court) Salman Safdar, accessed by NDTV, reveals that Imran Khan has lost nearly 85 per cent of vision in his right eye, after jail authorities allegedly ignored repeated medical complaints for months.
The findings paint a grim picture of a former prime minister held in isolation, denied timely medical care, restricted from meeting family members, and cut off from legal counsel – a situation critics squarely blame on the Pakistani deep state and the Pakistan Army.
According to the report, Khan told the amicus curiae that “approximately three to four months earlier, until October 2025, he had normal 6 x 6 vision in both eyes.” He then “began experiencing persistent blurred and hazy vision, which he repeatedly reported to the then jail superintendent,” but “no action was taken by the jail authorities to address these complaints”.
