Pak issues visas to Kulbhushan Jadhav's mother, wife

December 20, 2017 18:51

Pakistan today issued visas to convicted Indian death row prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav's wife and mother.

Jadhav is likely to meet his wife and mother on December 25.

Pakistan had on November 10 granted permission to Jadhav's wife to visit him "on humanitarian grounds". New Delhi had then urged Islamabad to also allow Jadhav's mother to accompany his wife along with an Indian diplomat.

Pakistan has so far rejected over 20 Indian requests for consular access to Jadhav.

Jadhav, 47, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in April on charges of espionage and terrorism.

The International Court of Justice in May had halted his execution on Indias appeal.
