UK Suspends Prisoners Exchange Deal with Pakistan
United Kingdom has suspended a convicted prisoner exchange agreement with Pakistan, signed in November 2018, due to leniency in the law and punishment to drug smuggler criminals in Pakistan, Dawn has reported.
Shozab Abbas, head of the Overseas Pakistani Division of the Foreign Ministry, told legislators that “Britain is not willing to continue exchange of prisoners’ agreement as the drug traffickers, serving their sentences in British jails, should not be let pardoned in Pakistan after exchange.”
