Rawalpindi: Sharif, Maryam provided 'B' class facilities in Adiala jail
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam were provided "B" class facilities, media reports said here on Saturday.
Sharif and Maryam were taken into custody in the Avenfield case, shortly after their arrival at Lahore airport from London via Abu Dhabi.
According to a notification issued by the Islamabad administration, they have declared a rest house at the Sihala Police Training College in the capital as a sub-jail to keep the two figures.
The medical examination of the two was also conducted by a team of doctors, who then declared them fit.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Law and Justice has issued a new notification, saying that the accountability court would conduct trial of remaining two corruption cases.
Accountability Court-Islamabad Judge Muhammad Bashir, who last night issued warrants for the imprisonment of the three-time premier and his political heir, will conduct the trial against the Sharifs in the jail, the report said.
A or B class prisoners are educated and give lessons to the uneducated prisoners perhaps in Class C. They do not do hard labour and can be engaged in useful work which is defined as rigorous punishment in their case.
The expenses of facilities to prisoners under A or B class such as TV, air-conditioner, fridge, and newspapers are usually paid by prisoners with the permission of jail department, the report added.
