US condemns Pakistan’s overturning of death sentence in Daniel Pearl murder
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWASHINGTON — The United States criticizes a Pakistani court’s overturning of a death sentence handed down over the gruesome killing of American journalist Daniel Pearl, calling the decision an “affront.”
“The overturning of the convictions for Daniel Pearl’s murder is an affront to victims of terrorism everywhere,” says Alice Wells, the top US diplomat for South Asia.
She welcomes indications that Pakistani prosecutors will appeal the decision on British-born terrorist Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh.
“Those responsible for Daniel’s heinous kidnapping and murder must face the full measure of justice,” Wells writes on Twitter.
