The protesters also brought a carton full of shoes to be donated to the Pakistani embassy. One of the protester said, "When they stole the chappal of a woman who was in distress, I hope they use these also. I want to say one thing" Ahmar Mustikhan, founder of the American Friends of Balochistan, who organised the event "Chappal Chor Pakistan" said, "The trial of Kulbhushan Jadhav violated all norms of international law as it was conducted by a military court" Jadhav is on a death row in Pakistan over charges of terrorism and spying for India's intelligence agency- Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). Last year, the International Court of Justice stayed the hanging after India approached it against the death sentence. (Images: ANI)
