Pakistan SC orders Daniel Pearl’s killer Omar Saeed Sheikh to be shifted to government rest house this has been criticized by India and the US.
The external affair ministry of India called this ‘travesty of justice’ and this shows lack of seriousness on taking action on terror-related issues by Pakistan.
Omar Saeed Sheikh was one of the three terrorist released by India in exchange for a hijacked plane Indian Airlines Flight 814 in 1999.
The Pakistan SC has ordered to move Omar from his death row cell to a government rest house within 2 days.
The Pakistan’s top court said Omar should be given proper security at his rest house and should not be granted access to mobile phones and the internet as he should not be in touch with the outside world. However his family can visit him at his rest house between 8 am to 5 pm and he will also be allowed to spend Kashmir Day with relatives as reported by media with Pakistan.
