Some 400 Indian prisoners may see freedom soon. But why should it be so ad hoc?

The Bilateral Exchange Treaty
  • Immediate notification to the respective high commissions about arrested Pakistani/Indian nationals.
  • Consular access within three months of arrest. Repatriation on completion of sentence and nationality verification;
  • A mechanism for early repatriation; no sentence for inadvertent crossers; a similar mechanism for those under 16 years.

(The Pakistan version varies, see An Open Window Behind The Bars).
