WASHINGTON - A group of 5 Americans of Indian descents protested outside the Pakistani embassy in Washington DC over the treatment of the wife and mother of Indian death row prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav during their recent visit to Islamabad, Hindustan Times has reported.
Braving freezing cold, the protesters also brought along sandals to give them to the Pakistani embassy officials.
“The trial of Kulbhushan Jadhav violated all norms of international law as it was conducted by a military court,” said the person who organised the unique event.
Both Jadhav’s wife and mother were asked to remove their sandals, mangalsutras and bindis before they were allowed to meet him, and the sandals were subsequently stolen, Mustikhan said.
The protesters said that Pakistan meted out “inhumane” treatment to Jadhav’s wife and mother during their tightly- controlled interaction with the 47-year-old Indian national on December 25 in the Pakistan Foreign Office.
