Naureen Niazi, sister of Imran Khan, alleges that her brother, imprisoned since 2023 on multiple charges, faces deteriorating health due to inadequate medical care while in Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail. Niazi asserts that the government continues to detain him because of his public support and previous assassination attempts.
Pakistan former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s sister Naureen Niazi has made a chilling claim that her brother Imran Khan, who has been lodged in Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail since 2023 in multiple cases including that of corruption, has faced multiple assassinations because he has the people’s support which the current administration does not like. Speaking of his condition which is deteriorating day-by-day, Niazi once again claimed that Imran has been denied proper health facilities and medical support. He’s facing issues with eyes and several other challenges but the current jail administration is not addressing his causes.
In a purported video that has been shared by RT on X, formerly Twitter, Naureen Niazi said that the former Pakistani PM’s health situation is disturbing. “For 3 months, no family or doctor has been allowed to see him. He has a serious eye condition, yet jail can’t verify his health. All his cases are cleared, but he remains detained”.
Not Allowed To Imran, No Doctor Access
Further in the video, Niazi said that the government has not let anyone of their family doctors or members meet Imran Khan in the jail for the last 3 months.

“We don’t know his real condition. They don’t let our doctors meet him. Therefore, we cannot trust what they (Pakistani government) are saying. He (Imran Khan) kept asking them when his lawyer went to see him, who told him that he (Imran) was telling the jail superintendent that his eyes were hurting, but they didn’t do anything,” she said.
“Imran Khan won the election, and they lost it. Till now, the family is not able to see him. He has a serious eye condition, but still, no doctors are being allowed to see him… it’s a serious problem with the government as they are treating the eye in jail where there is no facility” she added.
Niazi further claimed that Imran has won all his cases. “All the allegations have been finished, but they still want to keep him in jail because the public is with Imran Khan. They voted for him, but the government doesn’t want that… I don’t know… they tried to assassinate him for quite a few times, and can go to any extent.”
Imran Khan Examined By Team of Doctors In Adiala Jail
Imran Khan was on Sunday was examined by a team of doctors after a reported eyesight issue while his party rejected the inspection.
A Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawyer visited Khan on Thursday on the directive of the Supreme Court to get a first-hand report on his living conditions. The report showed that Khan complained of losing about 85 per cent vision in his right eye.
The court ordered authorities to carry out a detailed medical checkup of the 73-year-old former cricketer-turned-politician before February 16.
Sources said that a team of doctors visited Khan and examined the affected eye in detail.
“The medical examination went on for an hour and the team left after collecting blood samples,” sources said.
Last month, Khan was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad and a procedure was performed on his eye.
However, he complained of losing vision during the meeting with the lawyer, inviting demands by his family and the PTI to allow his treatment at a private hospital.
