Pakistani Activist Appeals for Death Row Prisoner

ANCHOR:
Pakistan's former Human Rights Minister Ansar Burney expresses hope that an Indian prisoner facing the death sentence in Pakistan's prison will get reprieve. He says this will enhance ties between the two nations.

STORY:
Burney crossed over to India from Pakistan last Wednesday. He has been actively pursuing the case of Sarabjit Singh, the death row Indian prisoner held in Pakistan's prison. He has been accused of having played a major role in
serial blasts across Pakistan that claimed at least 14 lives in 1991.

Burney met with the chairman of the National Human Rights Commission in the national capital New Delhi.

[Ansar Burney, Former Pakistan Human Rights Minister]:
"The issue is whether the evidences confirms his (Sarabjit Singh)involvement. There is some confusion about the name, but apart from all this,he has spent 18 years as a death-row prisoner. I will request Pakistan's President to consider. If settlement of this case can bring both the nations together, then I think he should be forgiven."

Last month, Burney urged the new Pakistani Government to consider converting Sarabjit's death sentence into life imprisonment on humanitarian grounds.

Sarabjit's family claims that his was a clear case of mistaken identity.

Do some research on how many Indians have died in Pakistani jails. One of the most recent deaths was due to an electric shock - as per Pakistani newspapers.

Before you speak against me or a great man like Burney, for the sake of god, do some research on what this guy represents and how many Pakistanis/Muslims he has helped over the years.

How about If I reverse the same question to you , about Pakistai prisoners in Indian Jail getting killed ,under unofficial secret death penalty, Yes you know damn well I am right.

[Majestic786]

Actually his death sentence has been delayed indefinitely! The reason is exactly what Burney has been saying -- there is no evidence against him other than the 'testimony', which was recorded after torture! Even Nawaz Sharif recently said that there was no substantial evidence against Sarabjit Singh!

Why the hell do you still want to hang this man? Just because he is Indian?

Good news foe Majestic 666, Associated press of Pakistan just confirmed that International terrorist Sarbajeet Singh will not be released,his sentence for death penalty is extended for few months only.Just to let you know that India released two pakistani dead bodies in past three weeks, in response of the freedom of Kashmir Singh few months ago. Now you can go ahead and jerk yourself 100 times in front of indian xrated movies and let me know when you are done,i will be calling youJERKOFF.
