Restrictions on Nawaz's movement after Adiala jail echoes with slogans against him

RAWALPINDI - Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's movement has been limited to his barrack by the Adiala jail authorities after inmates started raising slogans against him when he comes out for a walk in the courtyard.

Sharif will now also not be allowed to offer prayers in the mosque, an English daily reported on Thursday.

The former prime minister and his daughter Maryam Nawaz, who are currently serving their terms in the jail following the Avenfiled verdict, are likely to be shifted to police rest house in Sihala, sources said.

Nawaz Sharif and his younger brother Shehbaz Sharif have complained about inadequate facilities at the jail.

A security official said that it would not be safe to keep the former three-time premier in the jail due to the presence of hardcore terrorists, adding that the security inside and outside the jail has been tightened to avoid any untoward situation.

The former premier and his daughter shifted to the Adiala Jail after they were arrested upon their arrival in Lahore on July 13 and were subsequently taken to Islamabad through a chartered flight.

The sources said claimed that all arrangements now have been finalised to shift the father-daughter duo to Safwat Lodge, also known as Sihala Rest House, where other political leaders, including former president Asif Ali Zardari, have also been detained in the past.

On July 13, the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration had already declared the rest house a sub-jail for keeping the Sharif.
