The High Court of Pakistan has decided that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will be allowed to travel abroad for treatment without restrictions, Tanjug reports.

Sharif's lawyer Ashtar Ausaf said today that the High Court in the city of Lahore had allowed his client to leave the country for four weeks, and that the period could be extended if he was unable to travel.

In today's ruling, the court rejected the government's attempts to impose severe restrictions on Sharif's travel abroad, so that his return to Pakistan would be safe, AP reports.

In 69, Sharif (2018) was sentenced to seven years in prison for corruption and money laundering, and last month he was released from prison on bail due to his health.
