The order allows the release of Sharif family members from Rawalipindi Central Jail – where they have been incarcerated since July 13.

اللہ کا شکر ہے اسلام آباد ہای کورٹ نے نیب کی سزا معطل کرکے نواز شریف مریم نواز اور کیپٹن صفدر کی رہائی کا حکم دے دیا

A harsh judgement by NAB now suspended by the Islamabad High Court.
— Mosharraf Zaidi (@mosharrafzaidi) September 19, 2018
Once again, Pakistan’s institutions demonstrate incredible resilience in the face of very strong and sustained pressure.
Judiciary today shows that it is more robust than it has seemed in the last year.
So what does the suspension of the jail sentence against former #Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif mean? That the 'powers that be' only wanted him in jail to prevent him from contesting the July 25 general election and not to permanently bar him from politics? #NawazSharif

Former PM #NawazSharif & #MaryamNawaz returned home to face #NAB’s trumpet up charges,media trial&vicious propaganda with dignity&courage whereas #CowardCommandoMusharraf ran away from the country to avoid #Article6 & murder charges. NAB is a farce used for political witch hunt.

Great news & good news! At long last, some justice, long overdue, has been done. The Acc Court judgement was weak & flawed, in any case, there were no charges of corruption. ‘Get Nawaz’ at any costs was the purpose. Mian Sahib & family faced this ordeal with courage & fortitude!

Following the verdict, the ruling party lauded the independence of courts and the judiciary.

پاکستان میں عدالتیں آزاد ہیں
پہلے فیصلوں کیطرح آج کے فیصلے کا احترام واجب سمجھتے ہیں
