  "summary": "Twenty-five Pakistani fishermen have returned home after being released from Indian jails and crossing the Wagah-Attari border into Pakistan, according to the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi. The fishermen, who hail from Karachi and Thatta, completed immigration formalities and were handed over to Pakistani authorities, with Pakistani mission officials facilitating the repatriation process. The Fishermen's Cooperative Society issued a statement congratulating the community on the release of the fishermen and expressed hope that they would return to their homes and families. The release of the fishermen follows a letter sent by the Pakistan-India Peoples’ Forum for Peace and Democracy, the National Fishworkers Forum (NFF-India), the Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum (PFF), and the families of imprisoned fishermen to the prime ministers of Pakistan and India, urging both governments to release and repatriate all imprisoned fishermen who have completed their sentences.",
