Ex-PM on no-fly list

-

ISLAMABAD — The party of Pakistan’s ailing exprime minister is upset that he’s still on a no-fly list, blocking him from getting medical treatment abroad.

Nawaz Sharif was released on bail last month after his jail sentence was temporaril­y suspended on medical grounds.

Mr Sharif, 69, received a seven-year jail sentence for corruption and money laundering in 2018, but his health has recently deteriorat­ed.

Maryam Aurangzeb, the spokeswoma­n for Mr Sharif’s opposition political party, said on Monday that he’s still waiting for a travel ban to be lifted.
