ISLAMABAD - Pakistan’s Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to release jailed former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on bail for six weeks to receive medical treatment but said he would not be allowed to leave the country.
Sharif is serving a seven-year sentence imposed last year for failing to disclose the source of income that allowed him to acquire the Al-Azizia Steel Mills in Saudi Arabia. He has appealed. “In these six weeks he shall not be allowed to leave Pakistan,” he said, reading the order, and added that Sharif would be expected to surrender voluntarily at the end of the bail term.
His daughter Maryam has accused Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf party of mistreating her father, a charge the government denies. The issue has been the subject of bitter wrangling for weeks.
Opposition persecution behind accountability only, otherwise PM and half of ruling party would be in jail.
