NEW DELHI, Kurrent News: The human and civil rights organisation, Ansar Burney Trust International, has taken up with the Indian government three more cases of innocent Pakistani prisoners who have already completed their prison terms long time ago but are still waiting to be released from jails.
According to the press release on Wednesday, Chairman of the Ansar Burney Trust, Ansar Burney, once again contacted the Indian government for the early release of three more Pakistanis on humanitarian grounds in the greater interest of justice and human dignity.
Meanwhile, Ansar Burney on Wednesday filed another writ petition in the Indian Haryana Punjab High Court at Chandigarh seeking justice for three more Pakistani prisoners detained in Indian jails in most difficult circumstances.
Ansar Burney said that Pakistani national Asghar Ali, son of Mohammad Ali, resident of Jaranwala, district Faisalabad, was arrested in 1994 on immigration act and an Indian court sentenced him to three months imprisonment.
Burney said that Asghar Ali, had completed his sentence 16 years ago the same year his sentence was announced by the Session Court of India in 1994, but unfortunately for unknown reasons authorities failed to release and deport him to Pakistan. For this barbaric act of injustice in the last 16 long years, the innocent prisoner lost his full mental and physical balance, but still has hope in his eyes to be a free man soon.
Ansar Burney said that likewise, another Pakistani national, Fayyaz Ali, son of Rasheed Ali, mistakenly crossed the border and entered India at the age of 15, where he was arrested by the border security agencies and produced before District & Session Court of Rajouri in Jammu and Kashmir, which sentenced him to five years rigorous imprisonment.
