^^^Its a good step A.Rahman. Especially for those who want peace between the two countries.
If media reports are anything to go by, both countries are guilty of mistreating their prisoners.
IMO, it is a very smart move by Burney, because it puts the ball in India' court, along with the attention of the international media.
India will be compelled to respond positively, in order to prove her commitment to the peace process.
Remember, the world loves acts of humanity, especially those which are publicized well.
Both India and Pakistan claim to be old civilisations and thats where their understanding of civility ends. One look at both countries records of human rights, woman rights, poverty, medical care etc makes one really happy to be born in the west. No offense meant.
It's a funny thing, Pakistan government is fighting in plain sight for the release of it's prisoners and Indians are claiming they are not accepting them.Pakistan reluctant to take its people back locked in Punjabs jails: Authority Print

AMRITSAR: Pakistan Government is highly reluctant to take back Pak national internees lodged in the transit camp at Central jail Amritsar, inspite of the fact they have outlived their sentences awarded by the various Indian court of laws.
Some of Pakistani prisoners were languishing behind the Indian bars for the last more than one and half decade.
Talking to Punjab Newsline , Deputy Commissioner Amritsar, Kahan Singh Pannu said, "Section of media in Pakistan has started wrong propaganda about the Pakistan prisoner detained in Indian jails, particularly after the release of Indian Prisoner Kashmir Singh who spent nearly 35 years in the various jails of Pakistan".
Pannu said that Pakistan had alleged that Indian Government deliberately not releasing the Pak prisoners. Whereas, the facts were that Pakistan willfully punishing their people by not coming forward to accept them", said .Pannu.
Pannu said, " Out of Forty six Pak prisoners Fifteen Pakistani prisoners have been provided 'Councilor Access' by the officials of Pakistan Embassy from New Delhi long back, even all the formalities have been completed with regard to their release, since all the prisoners have completed their sentences. But unfortunately Pakistan is not ready to take them back, the reason best known to Pak Government".
Adding further Pannu said, "Union External Affair Ministry time and again has asked the Pakistan High Commission to do the needful for their Pakistani nationals so that they could return to Pakistan to join their families. But, here on this issue Pakistan has tight lipped".
Giving the detail of fifteen Pakistani prisoners who were provided Councilor Access by the official of Pak Embassy, Pannu said, "Abdul Sharif son of Gulam Ahmed resident of Dekhsabar Baluchistan, Pakistan was arrested in 1997. Altaf-ur-Rehman son of Mohhammad Adris resident 4-K-1, Nazimabad, Karachi Pakistan was arrested in 2002. Mohhmmad Aslam Khan son of Abdul Rehem resident of Musargabad Minamir Colony, Lahore was arrested in 2003. Akbar Ali son Rehmat Ali resident of Amar Sattu, Hariara, Lahore was arrested in 1995.

Pannu said," Indian Government has no problem for the repatriation of all the Pakistani prisoners lodged in Indian jail but Pakistan has to come forward to accept them. Freedom is the basic rights of all the Pakistan prisoners when they have already completed their sentences.
Now Pakistan Government giving them punishment by not coming forward to accept them.
Pannu said, "The interesting issue is that all the Pakistani nationals lodged in Amritsar jail are constantly in touch with their family members in Pakistan while exchanging letters by post on reciprocal basis. Moreover, Indian Jail Authority never stopped Pakistanis to receive or send letters on humanitarian ground".
"Family members of Pak prisoners are longing for their repatriation to Pakistan territory from India but Pakistan adopting dilly dallying, added Pannu.

Oh please this is one incident we can easily claim to be holier than thou (them). Although I find it weird that selectively we're dehyphenating India from Pakistan and when comparing barbarity we're being clubbed together again.Both India and Pakistan claim to be old civilisations and thats where their understanding of civility ends. One look at both countries records of human rights, woman rights, poverty, medical care etc makes one really happy to be born in the west. No offense meant.

We let go a spy who admitted to his espionage activities. In exchange we see a Pakistani guy who hands himself to the Indian authorities being tortured so horribly to death by the Indians.
Heads ought to be rolled.
Dear AA,
I don't want to get into whether India is wrong or Pakistan is right. Both your countries are great at shedding big crocodile tears on all kinds of rights and discriminations worldwide but both of are guilty by any humane standards of mistreating and abusing your own citizens so why bother talking about each others citizens. Moreover universal lack of accountability backed up by a professional Government SPIN Machine the truth is always a casualty in both countries. I am sure there are certain Indians here who may wish to justify India's case. I admire Gen M and Mr Barney for letting Mr K. Singh free eventhough it was delayed for more than 20 years. I understand that the maximum penalty of spying in Pakistan in war times is death and in peace times is 14 years whereas K. Singh spent 20 years extra.
Regards
Khalid Mehmood, Kashmir Singh reflect Pak, Indian mindsets
ISLAMABAD ( 2008-03-11 01:39:38 ) :
As the dead body of ill-fated Pakistani prisoner Khalid Mehmood arrives back home today, the human rights activists are facing harsh questions by the media and the general public in Pakistan why they had put immense pressure over the Pakistani government for the pardon and release of an Indian spy - Kashmir Singh.
As the Pakistanis seen-off Kashmir Singh at Wagah Border amid joy and laughter last week, they are assembling again today at the same point to receive the body of an innocent Pakistani cricket-lover amid tears and grief.
Mehmood had visited India as a spectator to enjoy the Pak-India Cricket series and was reportedly picked up by Indian secret agencies. Indian media reported that Mehmood had died of severe torture by the Indian jail officials.
The arrival of his body to Pakistan is a question mark over the human rights groups of India.
Bhago Begum, the Pakistani citizen, who was freed last year from an Indian jail, narrated the conditions in which Pakistani prisoners were kept in jails as 'dreadful'.
She termed the authorities of Indian jails 'heartless' as the Pakistani prisoners remain a target of routine 'physical abuse' and verbal humiliation at the hands of Indian officials.
Like Bhago Begum, there are many other Pakistani nationals who continue to suffer at the hands of Indian authorities in draconian Indian jails without trial.
Though the Indian media has frequently reflected the suffering of Pakistani prisoners, admitted to hospitals in serious conditions, after being picked by the Indian intelligence under espionage charges that were never proved in courts, yet the Indian officials are reluctant to pay heed to such charges.
On the other side of the border, an Indian national Kashmir Singh was pardoned by President Musharraf and was released from Pakistani jail last week.
On his way home from Wagah Border, Singh carried memories of humane treatment in Pakistan jails despite being a spy -- a fact he admitted as soon as he returned to India after 35-year imprisonment.
The grey-haired Singh looked physically fit and cheerful after his release, in sharp contrast to the miserable condition of Pakistani prisoners languishing in Indian jails without catching any attention from the human rights activists.
Again why go into flashback mode? Just stand up and denounce the one bad thing you see when you see it!Dear AA,
I don't want to get into whether India is wrong or Pakistan is right.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they all agree some bastards really effed things around with Khalid. However whether or not the parties responsible pay for it, yet remains to be seen.Moreover universal lack of accountability backed up by a professional Government SPIN Machine the truth is always a casualty in both countries. I am sure there are certain Indians here who may wish to justify India's case.
Actually he was to be hanged. If the system would've worked, and computers were keeping track of things, he would've never made it out alive.I admire Gen M and Mr Barney for letting Mr K. Singh free eventhough it was delayed for more than 20 years. I understand that the maximum penalty of spying in Pakistan in war times is death and in peace times is 14 years whereas K. Singh spent 20 years extra.

Those who were exchanged earlier those 50 were Mostly Fishermen and that is not a big deal. And Malang You are dissapointingly rather shamlessly justifying the torture over Pakistani prisoners in Indian Jails.
Indeed the Jails authorities everywhere are brutal
But Lets just compare the case of Indian Spy Kashmir Singh who was released by Pakistan. He was all healthy and cheeful there was no sign of Torture. He also admitted that he was not mistreated.(Even the fact that he was arrested on Spying Charges)
In sharp Contrast to that India Today Handedover the DEAD Body of a Pakistan crickter Lover Kahlid.
Who went to India to watch a India Pakistan cricket series.
The Indian Intellgence Agencies picked him and
Today (Monday March 10, 2008) India handed over dead body of Khalid to Pakistan at Wagha Border. Khalid was brutally Killed in Indian Jail after burtal torture by Indians.
It's a funny thing, Pakistan government is fighting in plain sight for the release of it's prisoners and Indians are claiming they are not accepting them.
Heck India is not releasing the prisoners who have already served their sentences.
Ansar Burney should be tired for treason
