Jammu | Mar 19
Welcoming release of Kashmir Singh after spending 35 years in a Pakistani jail, Convenor People’s Union for Civil Liberties, Balraj Puri has hoped clemency to Sarbjit Singh and his return to India would follow.
In a press statement issued today, Puri has said that he has been informed by the State Human Rights Commission that his concern over continued detention of foreign nationals, who crossed the border and completed their term of detention, was well founded and the State Chief Secretary has been directed to get the list of such detenues examined and comply with the rule of law. ‘They should be released or deported’, the Commission is reported to have said.
Puri had made a representation on January 28, 2005 to the State Human Rights Commission seeking deportation of those detenues who had innocently crossed the border on either side and was in touch with HR activists in Pakistan and had also raised the issue with Indian authorities at political level, the statement adds. |
