India Repatriates Pakistani Prisoners Amid Calls to Release Indian Fishermen in Pakistan
Two Indian fishermen from Gujarat have died in Pakistani custody this year, including one who remained imprisoned for nearly four years after completing his sentence. Journalist and peace activist Jatin Desai highlighted that 177 Indian fishermen, confirmed as Indian nationals, remain detained in Pakistan despite completing their sentences. India recently repatriated 25 Pakistani prisoners, including eight fishermen, through the Attari-Wagah border, prompting calls for Pakistan to reciprocate by releasing Indian detainees.
