Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Imran Khan received eye treatment on Tuesday, according to a hospital statement, although a spokesman for the ex-cricket star complained he was not allowed to see his personal doctor. Khan was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad for a second dose of eye injections, the hospital said. Khan and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, maintain that the cases against him are politically motivated. Khan's lawyer, Salman Safdar, told a news conference on February 12 that "one of Khan's eyes has only 15% vision", following a jail visit. The former premier's son, Kasim Khan, said his father's condition was the result of "medical neglect" during his confinement.
