Daniel Pearl's parents have slammed Pakistan's Supreme Court for allowing the man who spent 18 years on death row for their son's murder to come close to freedom. Pearl's parents, Judea, 83, and Ruth, have filed an appeal to Pakistan's Supreme Court challenging the lower court's ruling. The Supreme Court also refused to immediately hear the appeal, ruling instead that it would be heard on September 25. 'If Daniel Pearl's parents have any grievance or complaint it should be against the Pakistani authorities for the prosecution's failings,' he added. A film called A Mighty Heart was made in 2007 about Pearl's kidnapping.
