India frees 24 Pakistani prisoners

LAHORE: The Indian government on Wednesday released 24 Pakistani prisoners as a goodwill gesture. The prisoners, including seven fishermen and two children, were handed over to Pakistani authorities at the Wagah border.

Most of the prisoners had already served their sentences given by the Indian Supreme Court, officials said on Wednesday.

India had earlier listed 31 prisoners for Wednesday’s release but only 24 were actually freed.
