Summary Pakistan has handed over 89 Indian fishermen to the Indian officials at the Wagah border on Friday.
The Indian fishermen were caught and imprisoned on various occasions for violating the territorial waters. They were freed as a goodwill gesture for the peace building process with India.There were 95 fishermen, who were set to be freed, but the Indian government refused to accept six people due to suspicion of espionage. A week earlier, Indian citizen Gopal Dass, who was convicted on charges of spying, was set free after Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari remitted his sentence on humanitarian grounds.
