Pakistani Court Overturns Murder Conviction in Killing of Wall Street Journal Reporter

By Saeed Shah April 2, 2020 1:29 am ET A Pakistani court overturned the murder conviction of a British national for killing Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002, and reduced his death sentence to seven years’ time served in prison for his kidnapping conviction.

Three other men who were convicted in the same lower court of helping Omar Saeed Sheikh, the British national convicted of organizing the kidnapping and killing of Mr. Pearl, were acquitted by the appeals court in the city of Karachi. They had their sentences of life in prison vacated. Mr. Pearl was The Wall Street Journal’s Mumbai-based South Asia correspondent when he was abducted in Karachi on his way to what he thought would be an interview with an extremist cleric. He was later killed.Write to Saeed Shah at saeed.shah@wsj.com

Corrupt and profane , Pakistan never fails to do the expected.

So Pakistan is OK with the murder of non-Muslims?

US should look at this and do a facepalm

This monster killer should get the death penalty, not set free. Pakistan is a joke.

Politics and law..

SAD

patel4witham should ensure that this person is stripped of British citizenship and NEVER be allowed back into the UK again.

With friends like that...

This is beyond insane. Such an open and shut case. Pakistani legal system is abhorrent. As an American citizen Pearl should’ve gotten justice years ago. Years ago!! This is insanity

This is bullshit. Unacceptable. I saw that video. It was the first internet video I’d ever seen. I am traumatized by what I saw. How is this forgivable?

Okay. Time to turn that foreign aid spigot right the hell off. Hasta la vista Pakistan. RememberDanielPearl

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.

What can you expect from a kangaroo court in a banana republic!

No surprise! Pakistan is a country where murderers and terrorists are given medals! Pakistan

Are you surprised? This is very normal for a Terror state run by military.

they changed the murder punishment to 7 yrs lockup, he already spent 18 years in lock up as well.

Also where was Bin Laden hiding? You guessed it, Pakistan.

Appeal in the Supreme court. Its a high court decision. WSJ can appeal in Supreme court.

A murder most foul!

Wow... they must hv very strong evidence to do such...

Or did the state itself killed the journalist in question and picked out somebody who they could pin it on and have now decided he has suffered enough

🤦

RitaPanahi Terrorism wreaks havoc in Pakistan, yet they continue to allow it to flourish. We really need to stop pretending that we need, or are friends with, these pariah states.

Who would have faith in the judicial system of this failed state?! 🙄

RitaPanahi Holy hell 🤬

RitaPanahi Unconscionable!! 🙄

RitaPanahi They’re still dragging this 2002 case? Why khanumarfa?

RitaPanahi Nobody cares.

RitaPanahi Strong hometown advantage there. 🤔
