Indian ‘spy’ On Death Row In Pakistan Seeks Clemency

An Indian national facing execution after being convicted of spying in Pakistan has sought clemency from the country’s army chief, the Pakistani military said in a statement Thursday.

Kulbushan Sudhir Jadhav was arrested in the southwestern province of Balochistan last year and Pakistani officials claim he has confessed to spying for Indian intelligence services. He was found guilty in a closed hearing in April.

“Seeking forgiveness for his actions he has requested the Chief of Army Staff to spare his life on compassionate grounds,” the statement said.

But India has maintained Jadhav is not a spy, and that he was kidnapped by Pakistan. It lodged a case against Islamabad in the International Court of Justice (ICTJ) in The Hague last month.

New Delhi has accused Islamabad of violating the Vienna Convention by denying him consular access to Indian officials.

The ICTJ has since ordered Pakistan to stay the execution until the UN court passes final judgement in the case.

The nuclear arch-rivals routinely accuse one another of sending spies into their countries, and it is not uncommon for either nation to expel diplomats accused of espionage, particularly at times of high tension.

However death sentences have rarely been issued in such cases in recent years.

In 2013 an Indian national on death row for spying in Pakistan was killed in jail after being attacked by fellow inmates. Sarabjit Singh had been on death row for 16 years.

Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest but least developed province, has been battling a years-long separatist insurgency that the army has repeatedly characterised as “terrorism” promoted by hostile states such as India.
