Islamabad, Pakistan – Overthrown Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has appeared before an anti-corruption court in the capital Islamabad, putting to rest the possibility of political unrest if he boycotted proceedings.
Sharif appeared before the court briefly on Tuesday morning, amid tight security and a number of supporters chanting slogans outside the court complex.
Speaking to the press following his appearance in court, a defiant Sharif said he would continue to face the anti-corruption trial, but that he considered the process biased against him.
“Is this justice? Is this what we call the rule of law? Is this a fair trial?” he said, providing a list of grievances against the Supreme Court verdict against him, highest of which is his perceived denial of a right to a full appeal.
