Nawaz Sharif Left Pakistan in November 2019
Nawaz Sharif left Pakistan in November 2019 for medical treatment after his conviction in a corruption case. Since then he has not returned to the country.
Nawaz Sharif was declared an absconder the following February. Furthermore, later in 2020, local courts declared him a proclaimed offender as he failed to appear before courts.
