A Pakistani court has sentenced former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to ten years in prison today on corruption charges related to four luxury London flats, the BBC today reported.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) court handed down the verdict after a series of delays.

Mr Sharif previously filed to delay the ruling while he was in London with his wife, where she is receiving cancer treatment.

The former leader has called the charges politically motivated.

Politically motivated things happening in Sri Lanka. Big example is that the War Hero's and his family being crushed. Unfortunately, non-works.

Judicial system in Pakistan should be an eye-opener to Sri Lanka

Corruptions in Pakistan would make corruptions in Sri Lanka pale into insignificance.This former Prime Minister is in London and he would return when one day when a new government rescind this judgement and invites him back to Pakistan.

Hats off to the judiciary n the judge who gave a verdict without FEAR.. In SL the judges would have withdrawn citing conflict of interest BUT the actual reason being siding with the accused, who are President, PM, EX Prez or even an EX Secretary of defense...WHO SAYS PAKISTAN is a lawless country ? Seems SL is lawless than Pakistan...
