Well done ... now free the Scot on death row

I am delighted to see that Briton Mirza Tahir Hussain has at last been released after 18 years on death row in Pakistan.
Here I can only applaud the decision of Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf to use his discretionary powers to commute Hussain's death sentence on humanitarian grounds.
Hussain's life for the past 18 years has surely been torture. He went to Pakistan all those years ago to visit family and ended up in some sort of hell.

DEATH-row Scot Kenny Richey has made a personal plea to the newly elected Democrat governor of Ohio in a last-ditch bid for clemency.
Richey, who has been on death row in the state for almost 20 years, has written to Ted Strickland asking him to intervene against his conviction for the murder of a two-year-old in a house fire in 1986. Strickland secured victory in the state over Republican Bob Taft in the US midterm elections last week.

Human rights charity Reprieve has welcomed the news that Alistair Carmichael MP has written to the Governor of Ohio, Bob Taft, to raise the case of Kenny Richey, a Scottish man wrongfully convicted of murder in Ohio, USA. Governor Taft, who under Ohio law has the power to grant clemency, will be standing down at the end of the year, and this is seen as the final opportunity for him to intervene in this case.
