Plea likely against release?

Islamabad: Stung by growing international outcry questioning the release of Dr. Khan, the government has said it is considering to file a fresh appeal against a court’s order declaring him a “free citizen”. “The government reserves the right to file an appeal against the High Court’s decision,” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told reporters in Munich on Sunday. Mr. Qureshi said the release was due to the Islamabad High Court’s order and not an “executive decision”. — PTI
