Imran Khan's Fear at its peak
The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism
Once again, Imran Khan was brought to the public hospital last night at 1:30 AM which signifies the fear of retaliation from the general public if he is brought to the hospital in daylight. Neither his personal physician, nor his family was informed. It is difficult to believe that the doctors who are currently looking after him in dark hour of night have taken Hippocratic oath and are bound by a code of ethics which states that;
- 1. A doctor must never condone, participate in or facilitate torture, irrespective of the alleged offence of the prisoner.
2. Medical knowledge must never be used to assist interrogation or torture.
3. A doctor must not be present when torture is being inflicted or threatened.
4. Doctors must maintain complete clinical independence.
5. Medical information must be protected from misuse by detaining or interrogating authorities.
A short statement from the government has not recorded his blood pressure or has a signature from treating doctor. Similarly, no news about his wife Bushra Bibi and sisters who have medical issues.
The brother-in-law, Mr. Ahad Khan, was asked by the journalists if he had any meeting with the officials, He responded that he was called for a meeting and was informed that he and family will be allowed to meet his wife however no political statement will be given after the meeting. He commented that I cannot guarantee on behalf of my daughters.
In another development, his lawyers Latif Khosa and Salman Safdar met Imran Khan in prison where his wife was also present. The meeting lasted for about 4 hours. We will wiat for a formal statement.
