Islamabad, Jun 2: Pakistan will release 200 Indian fishermen and three civilian prisoners on Friday as a humanitarian gesture, foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has announced.

Last month, Pakistani authorities released 198 Indian fishermen, languishing in a prison in Karachi after being arrested for allegedly fishing illegally in the country's waters. They were handed over to India at the Wagah border. Pakistan Frees 198 Indian Fishermen From Jail at Attari-Wagah Border (Watch Video).

"This is in line with Pakistan's policy of not politicising humanitarian matters. Compassion should take precedence over politics," he added. Pakistan and India regularly arrest rival fishermen for violating the maritime boundary, which is poorly marked at some points.
