Pakistan demands best treatment for attacked prisoner
May 03, 2013
Foreign Office Spokesman said, "We have learnt with deep concern that a Pakistani prisoner, Sanaullah, who was serving life imprisonment in a jail in Indian Occupied Kashmir, was attacked this morning and as a result has received grievous injuries."
The spokesman said upon receipt of this information, the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi has sought immediate consular access to visit Sanaullah who is presently in hospital in Jammu and in a critical condition.
He said this obvious retaliation to the death of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh is condemnable.
"We call upon the Government of India to take all measures to ensure that Sanaullah receives the best medical treatment available, investigate the matter thoroughly and punish the perpetrators of this atrocity, said the Spokesman.
He said, "We would also remind the Government of India of its responsibility in ensuring the safety and security of all Pakistani prisoners lodged in Indian jails."
