 Sharif jailed for seven years for graft and corruption

Nawaz Sharif

December 25. 2018 –  ISLAMABAD, (Reuters) – A Pakistan court today jailed former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for seven years on graft charges that he says were politically motivated.

The anti-corruption court said in its ruling that the three-time prime minister was unable to prove the source of income that led to his ownership of a steel mill in Saudi Arabia.

Sharif was sentenced in July to 10 years in prison by the same court, on charges related to the purchase of upscale apartments in London, after the Supreme Court removed him from power. He was released in September pending an appeal.       Continue reading →

Tinkering around the edges will not make America’s justice system color-blind

— By MOHAMED HAMALUDIN

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who admitted he lied to the FBI and was accused by a federal judge of betraying the flag and probably committing treason, is likely to get just probation. Another white man, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, accused of abusing perhaps hundreds of teenage girls, served less than two years in a cushy West Palm Beach jail.
