发布时间：2019-10-27 编辑：查字典英语网小编

ISLAMABAD, Oct. 26 -- A court in Pakistan on Saturday granted interim bail to the country's former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over health problems, lawyers and Sharif's party said.

Sharif, the three-time prime minister, is presently serving a seven-year jail term over corruption charges related to owning steel mill abroad.

He was shifted to hospital on Monday after his health deteriorated in jail in Lahore, the capital of Punjab province.

The court granted the bail until Tuesday and the judges will take up another application that seeks cancellation of Sharif's conviction.

Sharif's lawyer Zafarullah told reporters that the court has granted interim bail to Nawaz Sharif and the court will again hear another application for permanent bail.

Spokesperson for Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Maryam Aurangzeb confirmed the verdict.

Commenting on the verdict, Aurangzeb welcomed the decision and said that treatment of Nawaz Sharif continued and that he is improving now.
