A Pakistan court overturned the death sentence and murder convictions of 4 men believed to be involved in the killing of journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002. Pearl was kidnapped, then beheaded in one of the first extremist propaganda videos targeting hostages

Islamabad, Pakistan A local court in Pakistan on Thursday overturned the death sentence and murder convictions of four men believed to be involved in the killing of US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002.

The men had all been in prison for 18 years. Three were handed life sentences. A fourth, British national Ahmad Omar Saeed Sheikh, was awaiting the death penalty. The high court in Pakistan's southern province of Sindh vacated Sheikh's murder conviction and reduced his death sentence to a seven-year prison term for kidnapping. His seven-year sentence will now be counted from the time served. It's unclear if all four will be immediately released.

Extremely awful. Terrorist state that harbors the worst humans possible.

Ya all talking about about this shit ! Which doesn't happen they are in prisons!! Just a fake one😬 FakeNews

Disgusting

Wow, didn’t realize they had Courts in Pakistan

Wtf

What do u expect from terrorist nation. (Terroristan)

Why no reporting on this? Never mind I know why. It's REAL news!

When you have lost the resemblance of respect of the lowliest of countries. Good focking job, America.

Never trust these countries to do what’s right they always fall back on their religion over all else.

So sad and so tragic it's all just really disappointing specially from our court's that's the real basic problem here in Pakistan our long lengthy judiciary system 18years so tragic.

Baby world news Six weeks of newborns in the United States died of coronavirus. The youngest person to die.

A sad day for journalism and a regular day for Pakistan 🇵🇰

America will never wake up to Pakistan's atrocities and lawlessness.. Everyone has vested interests and invested in power and politics.. But this is pathetic and shameful..

CNN.The Pearl Project says that US investigators have found evidence that the beheading was carried out by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who faces charges in connection with the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US. World should thank Pakistan and give a shutup call to those Barking

Baby world news In Seoul, South Korea, the Seoul mayor said all overseas visitors to Seoul will be tested for coronavirus at Jamsil Stadium.

Enjoy your sanctions!

Mockery of court and justice systems

That's bullshit move to hide .The facts they fucked up..Now with this cov19 is perfect time to forgive our mistakes 🤷‍♂️

One of the first extremist case.. Is like white washing what happens in 1990. Just think one person Vs 5 lac people. Shame is ashamed now.

The men had all been in prison for 18 years!!

China will pay 500 million in aid to Pakistan for doing this

Would not be surprised if a lot of governments do things like this while the whole world is concentrating on the pandemic. Last year, in Malta, protesters stopped the gov from cutting down some trees. Large gatherings banned. Trees meet chainsaw. Doneski.

Of course they did😢❗️

Baby world news The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) told people around the world not to wear masks, but now they have to wear lack the qualifications Fire the WHO secretary-general right now.

Please tell me this is a joke!!! I've never been able to shake the image of Pearl at the hands of those bastards, and remember crying helplessly when he was killed in such a barbaric way(followed by many more). His murderers deserve to rot in jail, & that's still too merciful!

Well that's ok CIA needs Pakistan in Afghanistan so these deals have to be reached part of the great game. US media has been too timid for too long on the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and this is the price you have gotta pay.

That is terrible, to be twisting the facts in the face of wrong posterity will judge the fellow.

Were the men “believed” to have been involved in the killing Daniel Pearl, or were they previously convicted?

Pakistan is a terrorist state

FoxNews IndiaToday BBCWorld ImranKhanPTI Pure Evil Pak Injustice where Guilty Terrorists & Killers are found not guilty.Its time to Boycott Pak aka Terroristan & other Extremist States that support Terrorists.

اتمنى العدالة المطلقة لكل مظلوم على وجه الارض 💔🌹

Pakistanis are nothing but Islamic terrorists calling themselves a country 😞

Don't worry, PAKISTAN will still receive Aid from the west.🤬

US would get justice done for sure, it would have been a different case if it was a Nigerian

From local court to High court to Supreme court = whole life in Pakistan.

Justice?
