Pakistan, India to sign prisoners' accord
 India and Pakistan are to sign an agreement next week for immediate declaration of arrests of each others nationals, early release of those crossing borders and the Line of Control (LoC) inadvertently, and consular access to all prisoners within three months of arrest. The agreement, to be signed on Wednesday during External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjees first visit after the new government took reigns in Pakistan, will confirm the agreement which home secretaries of both countries reached regarding the exchange of prisoners and release of those who had completed their sentences.Posted by: Fred 2008-05-17 |
