Nawaz Sharif was not even given a newspaper to read, his bed was a mattress on the floor and the washroom at his disposal was in despicable conditions.
Nawaz and Maryam were taken into custody by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials in the Avenfield case, shortly after their arrival at Lahore airport from London via Abu Dhabi.
Both Sharif, 68, and Maryam, 44, have been sentenced by an accountability court to 10 and 7 years in prison respectively.
Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz have been detained by the NAB officials. Their passports have been confiscated and they will be taken to Islamabad later, either by a chopper or a private jet depending on the weather conditions.
Nawaz Sharif, who is returning home from London along with daughter Maryam Nawaz, posted a video message from the flight enroute to Lahore from Abu Dhabi, in which he is making an emotional appeal to his countrymen.
A heavy security arrangement has been made at Lahore Airport where a large number of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers and supporters are expected to gather to express solidarity with the two top party leaders.
