Posters featuring a welcome message for former prime minister Nawaz

epa10925799 Motorists drive past posters featuring a welcome message for former Prime Minister and head of political party Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), that are installed ahead of planned return of Sharif, in Lahore, Pakistan, 18 October 2023. Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has applied for protective bail in the Avenfield properties and Al-Azizia references. His lawyer filed the petitions, but the hearing has been deferred, and notices have been issued to the National Accountability Bureau and other parties involved in the case. Sharif is seeking protective bail to surrender before the law and face the cases against him. He has been sentenced to 10 years in jail and fined £8 million in the Avenfield case and given a seven-year sentence in the Al-Azizia reference. The court had also disqualified him from holding any public office for 10 years. Sharif plans to return to Islamabad on 21 October and has requested a protective bail to reach court. EPA/RAHAT DAR
