Mirza Tahir Hussain has his death sentence commuted

I sent two e-mails to President Musharraf about this case and I am pleased to hear the news that he has now commuted the death sentence on humanitarian grounds.  I understand that Mirza Tahir Hussain has been released and should be able to return home soon.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
