Pakistan set to hang Sarabjit Singh by April 1
New Delhi: Indian national Sarabjit Singh, who is allegedly involved in four bomb blasts in Pakistan, is likely to be hanged by April 1.
A Black Warrant, which is the last stage of all appeal, has reportedly been issued for the hanging of Sarabjit. The Pakistani jail authorities have received the warrant.
The warrant has been issued after Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf rejected his mercy plea earlier this month.
Sarabjit is currently imprisoned in a high-security jail near Lahore.
Pakistan Minister for Humans Rights Ansar Burney, who was instrumental in getting Kashmir Singh, an alleged Indian spy released and sent back to India, has said that he would appeal against the hanging of Sarabjit.
He will appeal on Monday to Musharraf about the hanging of Sarabjit
"I am in deep pain and will resign soon. I will appeal to President tomorrow and I am leaving for Islamabad soon," Burney told CNN-IBN.
Meanwhile, a Public Interest Litigation in the Karachi and Lahore High Courts has already been filed against Burney.
The President rejected the mercy appeal filed by Sarabjit after 'thorough consideration', Pakistani news agency NNI reported quoting unnamed sources.
The allegations against Sarabjit "were proved and he was awarded capital punishment by court", the sources said.
Dalbir Kaur, Sarabjeet Singh's sister is in Delhi to meet the Prime Minister. She spoke to CNN-IBN earlier on Sunday.
I want to appeal Mr Ansaar Burney, and Pakistani citizens and government to look into the matter again for the sake of humanity. My brother hasn't done any of things he has been charged for. He is a victim of misidentification. To pass such a warrant against someone without any proof is killing humanity, Dalbir said.
I have only one brother and no one else. What is the fault of my brothers two daughters? The younger one has never seen her mother. The older sister was only two years old when their mother died. Please release my brother and let him come home.," she added.
Dalbir also appealed to the citizens of India to help her through the time time.
"I want to appeal to the citizens of India as well. Please support me in this difficult time. Please take some solid steps so that both Pakistan and Indian governments are compelled to release Sarabjeet, she added.
Sarabjit was arrested on charges of spying in 1990 and was later sentenced to death by the Lahore High Court in 2003 for his alleged involvement in four bomb blasts in Lahore and Multan.
Later the Pakistan Supreme court rejected his mercy petition in 2006 and upheld his death sentence.
Sarabjit, on the other hand, has been claiming that he crossed the border and entered Pakistan accidentally.
