Abdul Rehman: “Sarabjit can be Pardoned”
Abdul Rehman whose brother was died in the blast of Lahore in 1990 said that Sarabjit an Indian prisoner can be pardoned if India releases Pakistan prisoners. He said, “We can grant pardoned Sarabjit Singh if India releases Pakistan Prisoners who are in Indian jails from many years”.
Earlier, the Pakistan government delayed the execution of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh by 30 days. Sarabjit Singh was set to be hanged on April 1 following his conviction for alleged involvement in bomb attacks in 1990.
Sarabjit Singh was sentenced to death in 1991 for his alleged involvement in four bomb blasts in Lahore & Multan that killed 14 people. His family denies he is a spy as claimed by Pakistan & insists he accidentally strayed into Pakistani territory.
The mercy petition of Sarabjit, who Pakistan claims is Manjit Singh, was rejected by Musharraf on March 3. Sarabjit’s mercy petition was sent to Musharraf along with that of Indian prisoner Kashmir Singh, who was pardoned & freed after spending 35 years on death row in Pakistani jails.
