Lahore, February 22
Death row convict Sarabjit Singh has signed a fresh appeal seeking clemency that is addressed to the people of Pakistan and President Asif Ali Zardari, his lawyer said today.

"Sarabjit has signed an appeal addressed jointly to the people of Pakistan and President Zardari and it will be sent to him (Zardari) for consideration," Awais Sheikh, Sarabjit’s counsel said.

Sheikh said he met Sarabjit in Kot Lakhpat Jail yesterday and presented the prisoner his book titled "Sarabjit Singh - A case of mistaken identity".

Sarabjit was convicted for alleged involvement in a string of bomb attacks in Punjab province that killed 14 persons in 1990. His mercy petitions have been rejected by the courts and former President Pervez Musharraf. – PTI
