Pakistan Repatriates 7 Indian Prisoners

Pakistan sent back seven Indian prisoners who had been swept across the border during the 2023 floods in Punjab while trying to save their animals.

These prisoners were handed over to the Indian authorities at the Attari-Wagah border.

The prisoners are from different districts in India, including Ferozepur, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, and Uttar Pradesh.

India has also recently repatriated a Pakistani national and previously repatriated 48 Pakistani fishermen and 19 civilian prisoners.

Both countries exchange lists of prisoners and fishermen annually and have urged each other to expedite the release and repatriation of those who have completed their sentences.
