Karachi – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – Four Pakistani fishermen have come back home after spending nine long years in Indian jails. They were freed and brought to Karachi, where Rangers officials handed them over to the Edhi Foundation.
The Edhi Foundation shared the names of the released men. They are Ahmed Nawaz, Abdul Rehman, Waqas Ali and Arshad.
An Edhi spokesperson said Ahmed Nawaz and Abdul Rehman live in Korangi No. 4 in Karachi. Their families can now expect to meet them after almost a decade.
The other two men, Waqas Ali and Arshad, could not tell their home addresses. This has made it hard to send them straight to their families.
For now, Waqas Ali and Arshad will stay at an Edhi Home. The foundation will check their identities and home details through biometric procedures.
Once the checks are complete, the foundation can help them reach their loved ones. Until then, they will get shelter and care.
All four men were held in Indian jails for nine years before their release. Many fishermen from both countries are arrested each year for crossing sea borders by mistake, often while fishing.
Their return brings relief and hope to their families. Nine years is a very long time to wait for someone to come home.
The Edhi Foundation is well known in Pakistan for helping people in need. It often supports freed prisoners and missing persons until they return to their families.
The story shows how important it is to settle such cases quickly, so that poor fishermen do not lose years of their lives behind bars.
