Avenfield Properties Case

Pakistan's ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif will challenge his conviction in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills case in the Islamabad High Court this week, his lawyer said on Sunday, after the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo was sentenced to seven years in jail for corruption.

Embattled former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif today said the accountability court should delay its verdict in a corruption case against him till he returns to the country, emphasising that he was not a "dictator" who will run away from the courts.
