Pakistan officials visit 'critically' hurt prisoner in India
 [Pak Daily Times] Pak embassy officials visited a hospital in north India on Saturday where a Pak prisoner was at death's door in the intensive care unit after being attacked by an Indian inmate.Sanaullah suffered multiple head injuries in a prison in India's northern city of Jammu in an apparent tit-for-tat attack after an Indian prisoner, Sarabjit Singh, was fatally assaulted in Pakistain. On Friday, Sanaullah was airlifted to a government hospital in Chandigarh. A spokeswoman for the government hospital said Sanaullah was in the intensive care unit and on a ventilator as his condition "continues to remain critical". The Pak High Commission (embassy) officials "came to the hospital and we have given them Sanaullah's medical update", added Manju Wadwalkar, the spokeswoman of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research Hospital. Sanaullah, who hails from Sialkot in Pakistain, was attacked by a prisoner who was identified as a former Indian army soldier nearly 24 hours after Singh's death in Lahore. India's foreign ministry said Pakistain High Commission officials had been given daily access to Sanaullah. Pakistain's foreign ministry said earlier in the week in a statement that the "obvious retaliation to the death of Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh is condemnable". Posted by: Fred 2013-05-05 |
