After judgement of death sentence of Pakistan’s Supreme Court for Indian national Sarabjeet the NRI’s too joined the move to save Sarabjeet’s life. In a mail received by ‘Fachcha’ on Thursday an NRI Ramesh Gupta has appealed to write lawmaker and President of Pakistan to spare life of an innocent person.
In his letter Gupta has said “It is absolutely beyond the shadow of doubt that Sarabjit Singh is a victim of mistaken identity or framed being an Indian national who unknowingly walked across the border.and arrested by Pakistani Security forces.
Please support the mercy petition being filed by Ansar Burney. Your support might save an innocent person from being executed for the crimes.” Burney is going to file a mercy petition today before the President of Pakistan. Sarabjit, 43, has been on death row in Pakistan since he was convicted for his alleged involvement in four bomb blasts 18 years ago. The blasts, which took place in 1990, killed 14 people but Sarabjit’s family insists that he was wrongly convicted.
Burney, former Pakistani federal minister for human rights, condemned the decision of the Supreme Court on the review petition. “Sarabjit was to be hanged on April 1 last year but the mercy appeal by Ansar Burney Trust put off his execution indefinitely,” the activist said.
