ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry says officials will release 360 Indian prisoners detained for fishing illegally in the country’s territorial waters in the Arabian sea.
Mohammad Faisal, ministry spokesman, said Friday the fishermen will be freed in four batches starting April 15.
Pakistani and Indian maritime agencies frequently arrest each other’s fishermen on charges of illegal fishing. The detainees often languish in prison until such goodwill gestures are shown from either side.
