Indian 'spy' Jadhav seeks clemency from Pakistan army chief
New Delhi has accused Islamabad of violating the Vienna Convention by denying him consular access to Indian officials
Islamabad - Egypt Today
An Indian national facing execution after being convicted of spying in Pakistan has sought clemency from the country's army chief, the Pakistani military said in a statement Thursday.
Kulbushan Sudhir Jadhav was arrested in the southwestern province of Balochistan last year and Pakistani officials claim he has confessed to spying for Indian intelligence services. He was found guilty in a closed hearing in April.
"Seeking forgiveness for his actions he has requested the Chief of Army Staff to spare his life on compassionate grounds," the statement said.
But India has maintained Jadhav is not a spy, and that he was kidnapped by Pakistan. It lodged a case against Islamabad in the International Court of Justice (ICTJ) in The Hague last month.
New Delhi has accused Islamabad of violating the Vienna Convention by denying him consular access to Indian officials.
The ICTJ has since ordered Pakistan to stay the execution until the UN court passes final judgement in the case.
