India repatriates 22 Pakistani prisoners after completion of jail terms

The Indian Government has repatriated 22 Pakistani prisoners, who had completed their sentences, via the Attari-Wagah border, officials said.

They were handed over to the Pakistani Rangers at the border's Joint Check Post (JCP) by Border Security Force personnel on Friday, they said.

All of them crossed over to Pakistan after they were issued 'Emergency Travel Certificates' by the Pakistani High Commission in Delhi since none of them had any kind of travel documents at the time of arrest, the officials said.
