KARACHI: The Sindh Home Department issued a notification on Saturday regarding moving Ahmed Omar Sheikh and four other accused in the 2002 killing of American journalist Daniel Pearl, from jail to a newly-built facility within the boundaries of the Central Prison Karachi.
The notification came following the apex court’s order directing the provincial government to immediately shift Sheikh – convicted as the prime accused and sentenced to death for kidnapping and murdering Pearl – from his death cell to a government rest house.
