In Pakistan, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that authorities must transfer jailed ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan to a private hospital in Islamabad for a medical evaluation. The ruling comes after his relatives and personal doctors spent months raising alarms about his condition and whether he was receiving adequate care behind bars. Khan has been in jail for three years on corruption charges that U.N. experts have called arbitrary and politically motivated. This is Khan’s lawyer on Tuesday.

Sardar Muhammad Masroof Khan: “This is a very welcoming decision. He is the founder and chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and has been in jail for nearly three years now. Given the nature of the medical report that has come out, especially the medical report submitted yesterday, I believe this is a very good and encouraging decision.”
