Pakistani Court Topples PM Nawaz Sharif

Pakistan’s Supreme Court has disqualified the country’s premier Nawaz Sharif in a corruption case related to Panama Papers.
Pro-democracy activists say the verdict was politically motivated and a setback for democracy.
On Friday, Pakistan’s apex court announced the much-awaited verdict amid tight security in the capital Islamabad, fearing its ruling could trigger a violent reaction from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Muslim League-N party’s supporters.
Around 3,000 security personnel were deployed around the Supreme Court building ahead of the verdict.
