Pakistan confirms it has 682 Indian prisoners detained in its jails

Pakistan on July 1 confirmed that it has 682 Indian prisoners detained in its jails, as Islamabad and New Delhi exchanged a list of civilian prisoners and fishermen in their custody, a routine practice between the two neighbours under the provisions of the 2008 Agreement on Consular Access.

These lists are exchanged twice a year — on January 1 and July 1 respectively.
