Imran Khan’s sisters accuse Asim Munir of 'evil and conniving master plan', reject eye report

Imran Khan’s sisters question prison treatment, demand hospital transfer

After a medical report on former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was submitted to the Supreme Court, his family intensified criticism of the country’s military leadership, holding Army Chief Asim Munir responsible for Khan’s declining health in prison.

Khan’s sisters, Aleema Khan and Noreen Khan Niazi, rejected official medical claims circulated in the media and demanded urgent access to their brother at Adiala Jail.

Noreen Khan Niazi said, “The nation is wide awake, and the world is watching the brutality and inhumane treatment of Imran Khan.”

Aleema Khan echoed her sister’s concerns, dismissing recent medical briefings about Khan’s condition. She emphasised that the family has no independent way to verify the treatment he has received, noting that their personal physician, Dr Asim Yousuf, had spoken to jail doctors about the procedures but could not confirm the adequacy or authenticity of the care.

The family reiterated their demand that Khan be transferred immediately to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for examination by specialists under Dr Yousuf’s supervision and in the presence of family members.

Noreen Khan Niazi further alleged that her brother is suffering from irreversible damage to his right eye as a “direct consequence” of prison treatment, describing it as “deliberate cruelty” and accusing Asim Munir of carrying out an “evil and conniving master plan.” She claimed Khan has endured “unimaginable mistreatment” under what she termed “Asim Law,” holding the army chief directly responsible.

Medical report on Imran Khan’s eye health

A two-member medical team, appointed by the Pakistani government under Supreme Court directions, submitted a detailed report on Khan’s health.

The assessment was conducted by Dr. Nadeem Qureshi, Head of the Vitreo Retina Department at Al Shifa Eye Hospital, Rawalpindi, and Dr. Muhammad Arif Khan, Head of the Ophthalmology Department at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS). Both doctors visited Adiala Jail to carry out detailed ocular examinations.

According to the report, Khan’s left eye is functioning normally at 6/6 vision, while the right eye is operating at 67–72 percent capacity. The report noted that while his eyes are “working fine,” he requires ongoing specialised treatment.

Without corrective lenses, Khan’s right eye vision currently measures 6/24, the same eye affected by Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO), a condition linked to impaired retinal blood flow. Sources suggest that CRVO developed due to prolonged inadequate management of high blood pressure during imprisonment.

Following the first anti-VEGF injection on the night of January 24–25, Khan’s right eye vision improved from 6/36 to 6/24. With corrective glasses, the left eye remains 6/6, while the right eye improves to 6/9. The medical team also observed that internal retinal swelling has reduced from 550 to 350 units, showing a measurable decline in inflammation caused by the CRVO-related blood clot.
