British man on Pakistan death row to be released
Pakistan’s president commuted the death sentence against a British man who has spent 18 years behind bars disputing his conviction on charges of shooting dead a taxi driver, the interior minister said today.
Mirza Tahir Hussain (aged 36), originally from Leeds, who was convicted in the 1988 killing of Jamshed Khan, is expected to be released shortly, an official from the Pakistani presidency said.
