Interpol notices sought against Kasab, Ansari
2010-04-04
[Geo News] Pakistan has approached the Interpol on Saturday seeking Red Corner notices for arresting Ajmal Kasab and Fahim Ansari, currently undergoing trial in India. This was stated by Special Public Prosecutor Malik Rab Nawaz Moon as an anti-terrorism court conducting the trial of the seven 26/11 attack accused, adjourned the hearing in the case till April 17. During the proceedings, the prosecution said the government had been approached to ask Interpol to issue Red Corner notices for Ansari and Kasab.

#4  I don't think Red Notices are issued for people already in custody and undergoing trial.

An Interpol Red Notice

The persons concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions (or the International Criminal Tribunals, where appropriate) and Interpol's role is to assist the national police forces in identifying or locating those persons with a view to their arrest and extradition.

These red notices allow the warrant to be circulated worldwide with the request that the wanted person be arrested with a view to extradition.

A distinction is drawn between two types of red notice: the first type is based on an arrest warrant and is issued for a person wanted for prosecution; the second type is based on a court decision for a person wanted to serve a sentence.

#2  Not even the U.S. hands over arrestees to Pakistan just because they request it, Dinesh. As for the money, unfortunately Pakistan controls the only practical resupply route to Coalition troops in Afghanistan.

#1  Interpol Notice? So What? It does not make any difference. 5 US Citizens are charged with Terrorism in Pakistan. If US would seek Red Corner Notice with Interpol, would Pakistan hand over 5 people to US without trial? Pakistanis are charged for Terrorism everywhere in the world. Would all Countries release Pakistanis because of Interpol Notice? Interpol is not a US Congress, who just write " BLANK CHEQUES " on PAK's request.
