Pakistan suspends ban on Sharif brothers



Pakistan's supreme court today suspended a ban on opposition leader and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif from holding office and contesting elections, his lawyer said. "The judgement is that the order... disqualifying Shahbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif has been set aside," said Ashtar Ausaf, a lawyer for the brothers.
