News about Nawaz Sharif

Ugly clashes were recorded in Rawalpindi and Lahore's eastern city, where police are said to have arrested and dispersed protesters after earlier warnings that they will crack down hard on illegal gatherings. Hundreds of supporters of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) party were captured at scores of other demonstrations around the region, the majority of which were held without incident. In Thursday's national election, independent candidates backed by Khan secured the most seats, while the former international cricketer languishing in jail for suspected misconduct and a allegedly unlawful marriage. Independent candidates - the majority of which were linked to the PTI - gained the most seats in the polls, scuppering the chances of the army-backed PML-N to gain a majority. However, independents are unable to form a government and the country is facing weeks of political uncertainty as rival sides negotiate potential alliances. PTI chiefs insist they would have gained even more seats if not for vote rigging.

Both the former Prime Minister of Pakistan and his wife were found guilty of retaining and selling state gifts he received while in office for personal gain. This morning, they were sentenced to 14 years in jail for a ten-day conviction in an appeal relating to selling state secrets. Bushra Khan, also known as Bushra Bibi, was convicted of murder shortly after the verdict in Rawalpindi, near Pakistan's capital Islamabad. According to local reports, she was then taken to Khan's Bani Gala, in Islamabad, where she will serve her term under house arrest after receiving demands from the Punjab and federal governments. Authorities are apparently looking at making the house as'secure and comfortable' as a possibility for Khan's wife. The decision to place Bibi under house arrest rather than in a jail has sparked outrage from opposition groups, who have accused the government of giving preferential treatment to the ex Prime Minister and his wife.

Dozens of protesters have been arrested by Pakistani police after an ugly rally in favor of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan ahead of upcoming elections next month.

Human rights organisations have warned that national and provincial elections lack credibility, especially with the powerful military accused of attempting to compel the vote.

Khan, who was deposed in a no-confidence vote in April 2022 but who is still the country's top opposition figure, had concealed assets after selling state gifts, according to the court. According to senior police officer Ali Nasir Rizvi, the former cricket star was rushed from his home in the eastern city of Lahore to Islamabad. Khan was taken from a high-security prison in Attock, Punjab, that is notorious for its harsh conditions. Inmates are among the murderers and terrorists facing trial. Khan's party sent a video message showing him at his Lahore home behind a desk with the Pakistani and PTI flags in the background. He warned his followers that if the news made them, he would be in jail by the time they got them and that they should not remain in their homes and should not sit quietly.

Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, has been sentenced to three years in prison for illegally selling state gifts while prime minister.

Following Imran Khan's detention on corruption allegations, Pakistan is gearing up for an increase of brutality led by hundreds of supporters. Four police officers have been reported to have been killed so far in the unrest, and 157 police officers have been wounded in the eastern Punjab province.

Khan was pulled out and led into an armoured car before escorting outrage from his allies around the globe, as shown by a dramatic video.

Since being ousted from office in April last year, more than 100 lawsuits have been lodged against Khan, including abuse and terrorism. In the majority of cases, Khan would be refused to hold public office if found guilty. According to reports, his detention today was specifically in connection with the allegation that he, his wife, and others accomplices entered a financial deal that resulted in the loss of £190 billion to the Treasury.
