Pakistan on Wednesday freed 315 Indian fishermen, including over 20 juveniles, from a prison in Karachi as a goodwill gesture. Officials said that they have been sent to Lahore to be repatriated via the Wagah land border crossing.
They said that one prisoner who had recently undergone surgery, was unfit to travel and could not join the others as they set off by road for Lahore after being freed from Malir Jail in the port city on Wednesday morning. Officials also informed that about 130 Indian fishermen are still in Malir Jail in Karachi.
