Pakistan ex-PM Nawaz Sharif given 10-year jail term

 A Pakistani court has condemned previous Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to 10 years in jail on defilement accusations identified with four extravagance London pads. The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) court passed on the decision after a progression of deferrals. His girl, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, got a seven-year sentence, while his child in-law, Safdar Awan, was allowed a one-year sentence. Nawaz Sharif has said the charges are politically roused. Both he and his girl are in London, where Sharif's better half, Kulsoom Nawaz, is getting treatment for growth.
