slamabad: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday ordered the release of Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh.
He was convicted for alleged involvement in bomb attacks in 1990 in Pakistan. Earlier, he had sent a fresh clemency appeal to President Asif Ali Zardari.
This was the fifth mercy petition from Sarabjit, who was sentenced to death for alleged involvement in a string of bombings in Punjab in 1990 that killed 14 people.
The 49-year-old Indian is currently being held at Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore and has been on death row for over 20 years.
Sarabjit's fresh petition, which includes a document with the signatures of 100,000 Indians, urges Zardari to reciprocate the recent release of Pakistani virologist Khalil Chishti by India.
Chishti, who was convicted of involvement in the murder of a man in Ajmer in 1992, was recently freed on bail by India's Supreme Court. The court subsequently allowed him to visit Pakistan to meet his family.
Sarabjit, imprisoned since 1990, was given the death sentence under Pakistan s Army Act for alleged involvement in the bomb blasts.
Though Sarabjit was set to be hanged in 2008, Pakistani authorities put off his execution indefinitely after Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani intervened.
