Pakistan will grant consular access to Indian spy Jadhav: FO
196
The Foreign Office (FO) on Thursday announced that Pakistan will grant consular access to Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav.
"As a responsible state, Pakistan will grant consular access to Commander Kulbushan Jadhav according to Pakistani laws, for which modalities are being worked out," a press release issued by the FO read.
Timeline: How the Kulbhushan Jadhav saga unfolded
According to the statement, the decision was made in pursuant to the verdict of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
"Commander Kulbushan Jadhav has been informed of his rights under Article 36, paragraph 1(b) of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations," the FO added.
In its verdict, the ICJ had ruled that Jadhav be allowed consular access immediately and asked Pakistan to ensure “effective review and reconsideration of his conviction and sentences”.
The ICJ, however, had rejected all other remedies sought by India, which included the annulment of the military court decision convicting Jadhav, restricting Pakistan from executing the sentence, securing Jadhav's release and ordering his return to India.
In a post shared on Twitter earlier in the day, Prime Minister Imran Khan had said: "Appreciate ICJ’s decision not to acquit, release & return Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav to India."
"He is guilty of crimes against the people of Pakistan. Pakistan shall proceed further as per law," the premier had added.
Case background
Jadhav — a serving commander of the Indian Navy associated with Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing — was arrested on March 3, 2016, from Balochistan on allegations of espionage and terrorism.
In his subsequent trial at a military court, Jadhav had confessed to his involvement in terrorist plots.
The spy was subsequently sentenced to death in 2017. However, India insisted that Jadhav was not a spy and said he was kidnapped from Iran.
On April 10, 2017, Army Chief Gen Qamar Bajwa had endorsed the death penalty for Jadhav. In June 2017, the Indian spy had filed a mercy petition against the death penalty, in which he again confessed to his involvement in terrorist activities.
However, before Pakistani authorities could make a final decision, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), after being approached by India, had ordered a stay in his execution through an interim order.

Spying is now a fact of international affairs / relations and even the closest of allies, like US & Israel, US & UK, etc spy on each other. When spies are caught, they are quietly exchanged / returned without creating so much fuss and noise. Watch the movie 'A Bridge of Spies' starring Tom Hanks. It is the countries who indulge in spying and are at fault and not the poor individuals who are just following orders and a sense of patriotism drilled into them.
So India and Pakistan should simply follow suit and quuietly return / exchange each others' spies when caught instead of indulging in international tamashaa. Unless, that spy is wanted for crimes other than espionage, like robbery, murder, rape, etc.
Prosecuting and punishing one spy from any country for spying, will not prevent that country from sending spies in the future.

@TrueFacts, firstly India has long been asking for counselor access. Pakistan's stand was since KJ is spy and hence counsellor access won't be given. Now, ICJ ruled in favour of counselor access, that means Pakistan cannot deny the basic rights and ICJ is not fully presented evidence to prove KJ is a spy. Secondly, death sentence was not accepted and Pakistan was asked to review the trial. If death sentence is valid on evidence, ICJ would have only asked for mercy to convert the verdict to life sentence.

Had Pakistan any tangible evidence against Jadhav, it would have for sure tried him in a civilian court under glare of media but instead it chose a military court with no transparency. The moment they released confessional videos in public, it was clear to everyone that it is an exercise to please domestic audience. No where in the world such videos are released by Govt handling sensitive cases which are in courts.
I don't even understand why no one in Pakistan dared to challenge the immaturity of using confessions while in custody while convicting him and sentence him to death. No one also questioned that if he is sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan happening all over, why no accomplice has been caught ? No one asked a question why terror attacks still continued even after his arrest?
Now this trial will be watched closely and Pakistan's judicial environment and system will also be visible.

@Respected Indian, That is not correct. There is a trail of his activities inside Pakistan and recording of his telephone conversations which lead to his arrest. What was a serving Indian officer doing in Baluchistan ? The spin by Indian media is dramatic - he was kidnapped from Iran? Please give me a break ! Any country will try to shift the blame when caught red handed.
ICJ turned down the demand by India to release him and annul his execution verdict ( they only gave him a stay and asked for a review). His case will be re-access as per Pakistani law and in a military court. Even civilian Pakistanis have been punished in military courts - there is a constitutional amendment. So why India thinks Jadhav case will be sent to a civilian court given the extreme nature of charges against him? To summarize - don't start planning Jadhav welcome party, he is going to stay in Pakistan for a long time. The best you can hope for is we won't hang him for killing Pakistani nationals.

Pakistan has been hailing ICJ verdict as a victory for Pakistan. It is interesting to note that one ICJ judge who was a Pakistani dissented. If the verdict was in favour of Pakistan, why did he dissent? Also, the actions required by the verdict were all to be done by Pakistan as to stay on the death sentence, a proper retrial, proper Consular access to Jadhav etc. Only request by India that was denied was to free Jadhav, which was in reality not expected to be granted anyway. So, it is not a victory for Pakistan by any stretch of imagination.

The 'responsible state' had to be told by the ICJ. Stop giving a spin to the verdict. Many of India's demands might have been rejected. But court has clearly spelled that Pakistan failed to follow due process as per the laws.
