Pakistan Lawyers Seek Review Of Daniel Pearl Murder Acquittals
01/29/21 AT 1:59 PM
Pakistani prosecutors filed a last-ditch attempt Friday to overturn the acquittal of a British-born militant convicted of masterminding the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl, as the new US secretary of state directly pressed on the case.
Pakistan s top court on Thursday dismissed an appeal against a lower court s decision to clear Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and three others over the killing, after nearly two decades in jail.
The decision extended a legal tug of war between the Sindh provincial government who kept the group behind bars using emergency powers and the courts.
