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.

Pak President Zardari orders release of Sarabjit Singh
 
His relatives did not give up even for a second. They are gonna be rewarded soon.
 
is qasab trying to copy this sorry no offence but that what it looks like
 
Many people on this forum are going to have a heart attack, judging by the venom they spewed against this man on other threads about him.
 
I think pakistan over played the sarabjit card.. It's a shame that he was in pak custody for 35 years.. After eating up his entire youth. pak govt is releasing him when he became a burden on pak economy..
 
Not that I am against good relations with India, ppl like Sarbajeet and Ajmal Kasab should never be released. That bastard confessed of planting bomb in Lahore and Multan which killed 14 people.

Pak should have executed the death sentence, keeping him on death row so long itself is inhuman.

Kasab will never be released.
