ISLAMABAD: Days after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) stayed Kulbhushan Jadhav’s death sentence, Pakistan said today that the Indian national would not be executed until he has exhausted his mercy appeals.
Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria released a statement which he claimed was aimed at addressing “certain misrepresentations/false statements/allegations” made in the Indian media following the ICJ’s provisional measures order of May 18 in the Jadhav case.
Zakaria asserted that irrespective of the ICJ’s stay, Jadhav would remain alive, until he has exhausted the right to request for clemency, initially with the Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) and later with the Pakistan President. (AGENCIES)
