KARACHI, Oct 17: Ten Nepalese languishing in the Malir District Jail even after being ordered to be released are to be flown to Nepal on Saturday.

The foreigners were arrested for overstaying in Pakistan and sent to jail some seven months ago.

According to a report, a court had ordered their release but the prisoners could not be repatriated as they did not have money to leave the country. An NGO has now arranged their airfare and the foreigners are to leave for Nepal by a PIA flight on Saturday.—PPI
