Coming Up: Sarabjit's sister hopeful of relief from Zardari -
Dalbir Kaur, the sister of Sarabjit Singh, an Indian on death row in Pakistan following his conviction for alleged involvement in bomb attacks, has said that she will appeal to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari during his Ajmer visit to release her brother on humanitarian grounds.
-
Dalbir Kaur, who is in Ajmer today, earlier said that she would try to meet Mr Zardari during his private visit to the dargah. "Mercy petition of my brother is pending with Zardari. I would urge from him to release my brother. Since he will be visiting Ajmer dargah on Sunday, I am also going there with a wish of my brother's release which is in the hands of Zardari," she told reporters.
-
She said that her brother's case was one of mistaken identity and the Pakistani government should release him as he has already spent 22 years in jail.
Sarabjit Singh has been on death row since he was convicted for alleged involvement in four bomb blasts in 1990 that killed 14 people. His family insists he was wrongly convicted. Sarabjit Singh was to be hanged in 2008 but Pakistani authorities put off his execution indefinitely after Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani intervened.
