Security personnels clear way for Pakistan's former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, center, leaves after appearing in a court in Islamabad, Pakistan, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023. A federal court in Pakistan's capital restored the appeals of the country's former Prime Minister Sharif against his 2018 conviction in graft cases, less than a week after this Islamic nation's three-time former premier returned home.
Marriyum Aurangzeb, a senior leader from Sharif's party, on Thursday hailed the court order. Writing on X, previously known as Twitter, she described the reinstatement of Sharif's appeals against his conviction as “progress towards ending the injustice”. The latest development came days after the Islamabad High Court granted Sharif protection from arrest, enabling him to surrender before it. At Thursday's court hearing, which Sharif attended, the court extended his protection from arrest after the anti-corruption body said it had no intention of detaining him in connection with pending cases.In 2018, Sharif was replaced by cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan after the elections, which Sharif says were massively rigged.
