Pakistan hands over list of Indian prisoners

Islamabad, Jan 1 (PTI) Pakistan on Friday handed over
to India a list of Indian prisoners being held in the
country's jails.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs handed over the list
of Indian prisoners in Pakistan to an officer of the Indian
High Commission in Islamabad at the Foreign Office today,"
Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said in a statement.
The number of Indian prisoners in Pakistan could not
immediately be ascertained and the statement too did not give
details.
India and Pakistan are required to exchange lists of
prisoners in each other's custody on January 1 and July 1
every year under the terms of the Agreement on Consular Access
signed by the two countries in May 2008.
Pakistan released 100 Indian fishermen last month and
proposed the revival of the Judicial Committee on Prisoners to
address the problems of prisoners in both countries. PTI
