Summary Jail authorities have disallowed convicts' counsels from meeting them today.
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have started reaching Adiala Jail to meet ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz today (Thursday) .
A total of 15 people including family members are scheduled to meet the former PM while jail authorities have disallowed convicts’ counsels, Khawaja Harris and Amjad Pervez from meeting them today.
On the other hand, Nawaz Sharif has been given a place for walking in the jail while he has also been provided with cook and doctor.
On July 13, Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz were arrested and shifted to jail after they landed at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport.
Nawaz was sentenced to 11 years in prison by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) court over his family’s purchase of luxury apartments in London, whereas, his daughter Maryam was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The ex-premier’s son-in-law was also sent to jail for one-year on the same charge.
The Avenfield reference is one of the three corruption references, filed by the National Accountability Bureau(NAB) on orders of the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP), which disqualified Nawaz Sharif, ousting him from premiership and finding him guilty in the Panama Paper case verdict.
The verdict came at a time when Nawaz Sharif and daughter Maryam Nawaz Sharif were in London to see Begum Kulsom Nawaz Sharif who has been undergoing treatment for cancer.
