Sarabjit’s kin get visa
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Islamabad has provided visas to family members of Indian national Sarabjit Singh, who is on death row in Pakistan.
The family plans to meet President Pervez Musharraf and other senior members of the newly elected government in Pakistan to seek clemency for Sarabjit on grounds that he is innocent and that he has already spent 17 years in prison.
He has been sentenced for alleged involvement in serial bomb blasts in Lahore that killed 14 persons in 1990. However, the family claims he inadvertently crossed the Indian border and was arrested in a case of mistaken identity.
The visas would not automatically mean an audience for the family with the President, said sources here.
“It is up to the government there as to how far the family’s requirements would be met.”
