Zulfiqar Ali, who is facing imminent execution has been imprisoned for 12 years but **w is set to be executed in Indonesia. Meanwhile, Indonesian ambassador Iwan Suyudhie Amri was summoned to the Foreign ****** over the expected execution. The Justice Project Pakistan (JPP), a human rights law firm has requested the president to take up the matter with the Indonesian government for saving the life of an in**cent Pakistani. Zulfiqar, 52, was arrested in **vember 2004 in connection with a 300 gram heroin case in Jakarta. A co-accused in the case Gurdip Singh retracted his statement against Zulfiqar saying the confession had been coerced from him. The JPP said the Indonesian police had been unable to bring forward any material evidence to support their charge against Zulfiqar Ali. He was arrested at his home without a warrant in Indonesia’s West Java province. For three days he was kicked, punched and threatened with death by the Soekar** Hatta Airport district police until he was forced to sign a self-incriminating confession. He was rushed into an emergency stomach and kidney surgery due to the severity of the physical torture he was subjected to. He remained in the hospital for 17 days for which the expenses had to be borne by his family and he still suffers from a number of health issues as a result, the JPP said. Zulfiqar, the father of six was **t provided a lawyer for a month and ** one from the Pakistan embassy was contacted. He was detained for over three months before being brought to the first trial hearing. And even though his confession was coerced as he recalled in detail during the trial, the judge allowed it to be used as evidence. The JPP pointed out that European citizens were likely to be excused from execution for the same conviction. Zulfiqar will be executed by firing squad if the Pakistan government does **t act swiftly **w, it added. His wife Siti Rouhani has pinned her last hopes on the government. According to a**ther report from Cilacap, Indonesia, a group of drug convicts including foreigners will face the firing squad in Indonesia this week after authorities Tuesday gave **tice of their executions, a diplomat said, despite protests from governments and rights groups. Syed Zahid Raza, the deputy Pakistani ambassador in Jakarta, told AFP the convicts, who include a Pakistani, could be executed around midnight Friday after officials signalled the start of a 72-hour **tice period at a meeting with diplomats. Nationals from Pakistan, India, Nigeria and Zimbabwe are expected to be executed alongside Indonesians.
