PTI leader Yasmin Rashid was admitted to Lahore’s Services Hospital on Wednesday after falling unconscious in Kot Lakhpat Jail, according to her lawyer.
Yasmin has been in prison for almost a year now in connection with multiple cases against her regarding the events of May 9, 2023, when countrywide protests and riots broke out after the arrest of PTI founder Imran Khan.
Her lawyer Rana Mudassir told media her condition in jail had been very bad since Tuesday and that she was not provided medical treatment facilities.
“[Medical] treatment was not provided [to her] despite continuous vomiting and an upset stomach since yesterday. Today, she fainted in jail and was brought to Services Hospital via an ambulance.”
He said she fainted due to heat in her prison cell and drinking contaminated water while not being provided any treatment.
