29 September 2005 :

nearly 5,000 people held a rally as shops and businesses shut down in the home town of Sarabjeet Singh, an Indian facing death by hanging in Pakistan, demanding clemency and his immediate return home. In New Delhi, India's External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh met the Pakistani ambassador and made a formal request to Islamabad to spare Singh’s life. 
"Sarabjeet Singh is innocent. He has been falsely implicated by Pakistani spy agencies," said Tejvir Singh, a Congress party leader, in Bhikwind, a town 30 miles north of Amritsar, an Indian border city.
Singh's wife, Sukhpreet Kaur, who also attended the rally, said her husband wasn't a spy as claimed by Pakistani authorities. He had strayed into Pakistani territory while farming his land close to the border with Pakistan, she said.
Kaur said she had given to Indian authorities the voters list carrying her husband's name and bank documents to prove his identity as a farmer.
But Pakistan's ambassador in India, Aziz Ahmed Khan, said after a meeting with the foreign minister that Sarabjeet Singh had received a fair trial.
