Karachi: In a goodwill gesture, Pakistan on Sunday released 86 Indian fishermen
arrested for allegedly violating its territorial waters. The 86 fishermen,
apprehended almost five months ago, were released from Landhi Jail here and
will be sent to India through Wagah Border on Monday, Radio Pakistan reported.
According to Jail Superintendent of Landhi Jail, the fishermen have been
released as a goodwill gesture. Fishermen are frequently arrested along with
their boats by both India and Pakistan as the maritime border in the Arabian
Sea is poorly defined, and many fishing boats lack the technology needed to be
certain of their precise location. Some of them spend years in jail before
being repatriated. In the past the two nations have released each other’s
fishermen as goodwill gestures.
