Ex-PM Sharif moved back to jail

Pakistan's jailed former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was moved back to prison from hospital on Tuesday evening after doctors signalled an improvement in his health, a minister said.

Sharif was shifted to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences(PIMS) in Islamabad two days ago after he reportedly fell sick inside prison.

Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz were jailed on July 13 after a court sentenced them to 10 and seven years respectively over properties in Britain which emerged in the wake of Panama Papers revelations.

"The former Prime Minister is being shifted back to Adiala jail," Shaukat Javed, the caretaker home minister for Punjab province, said.
