LAHORE, Pakistan/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif left
Pakistan on Tuesday in an air ambulance to seek medical treatment in
London, his party said, a month after the three-time premier was released on bail from a seven-year
prison sentence for corruption.
Sharif, 69, was accompanied by his younger brother and personal physician, leaders of his Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) Party said.
Despite the convictions for corruption, Sharif remains popular among many Pakistanis, and his health has dominated newspaper front pages and TV channels in recent weeks.
