The Supreme Court has allowed the transfer of Ahmed Omar Shaikh,\u00a0who was convicted of kidnapping US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2012,\u00a0from Karachi to Lahore.<\/p>\n

He will be shifted to Lahore\u2019s Kot Lakhpat Jail.<\/p>\n

\"Omar-Sheikh-to-be-transferred-to-Lahore-jail-rapidnews\"<\/p>\n

The court was informed that Sheikh Adil, another man acquitted in the murder case, has been sick for some time now. It instructed authorities to provide with him all medical facilities.<\/p>\n

It has summoned a reply from the Punjab chief secretary too. The case has been adjourned for two weeks.<\/p>\n

Justice Umar Ata Bandial remarked that the court is not happy with the constant detention of the men even after their acquittal.<\/p>\n

Punjab Additional Advocate General Faisal Chaudhry said that Omar Sheikh will be kept in the same colony as jail employees. Rangers and police personnel will be deployed outside it.<\/p>\n

Justice Sajjad Ali Shah asked why is the Punjab government asking for more time if they want to keep him within the jurisdiction of the jail.<\/p>\n

On January 28, the Supreme Court ordered Sheikh\u2019s release. The White House said it was \u201coutraged\u201d by this decision. Following this, the Sindh and federal governments filed a review petition against the verdict.<\/p>\n

Daniel Pearl murder case<\/h2>\n

Daniel Pearl, 38, was the South Asia bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal when he was abducted in Karachi in January 2002. He was researching links between Pakistan-based militants and Richard C Reid, who is also known as the \u2018shoe bomber\u2019 for trying to detonate a shoe bomb on a flight from Paris to Miami in 2001.<\/p>\n

His wife Mariane Pearl, a US national who was living in Karachi\u2019s Zamzama, had informed the police of his disappearance after nearly 10 days on February 2, 2002.<\/p>\n

She had received an email from the abductors who said Pearl had been abducted \u201cin retaliation for the imprisonment of Pakistani men by the US government in Cuba and other complaints,\u201d she had told the police.<\/p>\n

A graphic video showing Pearl\u2019s decapitation was delivered to the US Consulate in Karachi nearly a month after his kidnapping.<\/p>\n

After this, a case was filed against the suspects and the prosecution produced 23 witnesses. Sheikh was arrested by Pakistani security agencies in February 2002 and an anti-terrorism court convicted him and others on July 15, 2002.<\/p>\n

An investigation, led by Pearl\u2019s friend and former Wall Street Journal colleague Asra Nomani and a Georgetown University professor, claimed the reporter was murdered by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks, not Sheikh.<\/p>\n

Mohammed \u2014 better known as KSM \u2014 was arrested in Pakistan in 2003. He is currently detained in Guantanamo Bay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
