ISLAMABAD: Pakistan said on Monday it would grant consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav, a former Indian naval commander condemned to death for spying, weeks after the International Court of Justice called for a review of his sentence in a case that has stoked tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals.
The decision comes weeks after the ICJ in July ordered Islamabad to provide the prisoner with consular access but rejected India's demand that Jadhav be freed. According to Indian officials, Jadhav retired from the navy in 2001 and was running a"logistics" business in the Iranian port of Chabahar.New Delhi insists he was taken captive in Iran before being moved to Pakistan and then forced to confess.
