‘Maryam Nawaz not provided better-class facilities in prison’

Author: inp

The personal doctor of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday claimed that jail authorities had not provided Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif better jail facilities.

In a statement made to the press, Dr Adnan Khan expressed his outrage that despite court orders, jail authorities had failed to provide Maryam Nawaz with better jail conditions.

According to Dr Khan, he met Maryam Nawaz in Kot Lakhpat prison in Lahore and was appalled to see the small room in which she had been incarcerated. The doctor even said that the jail cell of Maryam Nawaz lacked basic facilities and even was infested with bed bugs and mosquitoes. Maryam Nawaz is also not allowed to get homemade food in her cell. Dr Khan noted that as per court orders, Maryam Nawaz was entitled to better-class jail facilities, and urged authorities to provide these to his client immediately. Last month, an accountability court in Lahore sent Maryam Nawaz and her cousin Yousaf Abbas to jail on judicial remand in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case. Maryam and Abbas had appeared before the court after the expiry of their physical remand.
