Pak releases new video of Jadhav’s ‘confession’, India calls it ‘farcical’ hindustantimes.com

The International Court of Justice recently ordered Pakistan not to execute Kulbhushan Jadhav, convicted of spying, until it hears a case brought by India arguing that Islamabad violated a treaty guaranteeing diplomatic assistance to foreigners accused of crimes.
Indian national Kulbhushan Yadhav has appealed to Pakistan’s powerful army chief to spare his life, the neighbouring country’s military said on Thursday, more than two months after the former naval officer was sentenced to death on charges of espionage.

Jadhav, 46, filed a mercy petition before army chief General Qamar Bajwa seeking forgiveness for his actions, the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said in a statement.

“He has requested the chief of army staff to spare his life on compassionate grounds,” it added.
