KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has asked the authorities to submit details of all the charges against Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, who was sentenced to death in 2002 for the murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl. A case has been filed over the detention of Sheikh and three others after the court had approved their release. Justice KK Agha asked the Sindh government to explain why Sheikh, Adil, Saqib and Nasim haven’t been released yet. He said the Supreme Court gave a stay order, suspending the SHC verdict that acquitted the accused. Pearl’s parents and the Sindh government had filed appeals in the Supreme Court (SC) against the SHC’s order.
