In a strong message to Turkey, India on Wednesday reminded Turkey of United Nations Security Council or UNSC resolutions on Cyprus after the latter raked UNSC resolutions on Kashmir.

India's Second Secretary, Permanent Mission of India to UN, Geneva, Seema Pujani said, "As far as the subject of UN Resolutions is concerned, we would advise Turkey to practise what it preaches by first implementing those UN Resolutions that apply to it."

UNSC resolution on Cyprus has been a cause of embarrassment to Turkey even as it continues to occupy the northern part of the island nation in the Mediterranean Sea. Turkey in the past, especially after India removed special status for the erstwhile state for Jammu and Kashmir has been supporting Pakistani "cause" at various multilateral organizations especially UN.&nbsp;

Pujani, hitting out at Turkey said "we find them completely unacceptable", pointing out, "it is ironical for a country which has trampled upon its own civil society to pass unjustified comments on other’s internal matters."

Pakistan was the key focus of India's right of reply at the council, which out of habit raises Kashmir, irking New Delhi. For the first time, India raised the issue of acquittal of Omar Saeed, key accused in the killing of US Journalist Daniel Pearl and Islamabad's support to "state-sponsored terrorism".

Pujani said,"The recent acquittal of Omar Saeed Sheikh, the al-Qaeda terrorist and murderer" of Daniel Pearl by the Pakistani Supreme Court is a "clear example of the Pakistani establishment’s nexus with such entities and, as the US Secretary of State said, it is "an affront to terrorism victims everywhere.”

The young Indian diplomat listed out the "institutionalized discrimination and persecution" faced by the minorities in the country, along with "instances of repression" of journalists and civil society activists giving the example of Pakistani human rights defender Gulalai Ismail, Idris Khattak.

Gulalai Ismail is right now in the US and as retribution, her father Muhammad Ismail has been arrested under "terror" charges by Pakistan. Idris Khattak, who was doing a report on enforced disappearances in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas has been missing since November 2019.

At UNHRC India reminds Turkey of UNSC resolutions on Cyprus, raises Omar Saeed's acquittal

Slamming the Pakistani court's decision to acquit journalist Daniel Pearl's killer Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, Joe Biden's administration has said it was "outraged" Thursday after Pakistan's top court upheld the acquittal and ordered the release of the terrorist convicted of masterminding the 2002 beheading of US journalist Daniel Pearl.

The US is "outraged by the Pakistani Supreme Court's decision," Biden's chief spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters, underscoring the uneasy alliance between Washington and Islamabad, which has fractured many times over Islamist militancy.

She called the ruling "an affront to terrorism victims everywhere" and demanded the Pakistani government "review its legal options."

The White House statement came after Pakistan's Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, who had been convicted of masterminding the brutal murder of Pearl, the South Asia bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, by jihadists.

Pearl's killing -- which was filmed -- caused international shock and outrage.

State Secretary Antony Blinken said that Washington is ready to prosecute Sheikh in the United States for his horrific crimes against an American citizen.

"We expect the Pakistani government to expeditiously review its legal options to ensure justice is served. We take note of the Attorney General's statement that he intends to seek review and recall of the decision. We are also prepared to prosecute Sheikh in the United States for his horrific crimes against an American citizen," US State Department release quoted Blinken.

Ahmad Omar Saeed Sheikh was indicted in the United States in 2002 for hostage-taking and conspiracy to commit hostage-taking, resulting in the murder of Pearl, the South Asia Bureau Chief for the Wall Street Journal, as well as the 1994 kidnapping of another United States citizen in India," the statement added.

US outraged, ready to prosecute Daniel Pearl's killer Omar Sheikh after Pakistan SC acquits him

The Sindh government on Friday filed a review petition before Pakistan Supreme Court after it granted a release order for Omar Saeed Sheikh, the prime suspect in Daniel Pearl killing.

The Chinese government said it will "no longer recognise" the British national (overseas) passport which potentially benefits millions of Hong Kongers. The new visa path opens up entry to the UK to an estimated 2.9 million adults in Hong Kong and their dependents who number nearly 2.3 million.

Meanwhile, World Health Organisation (WHO) experts visited the visit in Wuhan as part of their investigation on the coronavirus origins. The field visits will include the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Huanan market and the Wuhan CDC laboratory, the WHO said. The Hunan market is considered to be first major cluster of coronavirus outbreak.

UK's transport secretary, Grant Shapps, said the UAE had been added to the 30 existing countries which are currently subject to a travel ban – along with Rwanda and Burundi in central Africa. This move will shut down the world's busiest international airline route from Dubai to London.

Top 10 world news: Pakistan files review petition in Supreme Court in Daniel Pearl case, China rejects UK's BNO passport

India has sharply reacted to Pakistan acquitting Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the main accused in the killing of American journalist <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/pakistan-supreme-court-orders-immediate-release-of-daniel-pearl-murder-prime-suspect-359828">Daniel Pearl</a> in 2002, calling it "travesty of justice".

Highlighting the "very low conviction rate in Pakistan" when it comes to sentencing of terror accused, ministry of external affairs spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said, "this case truly demonstrates Pakistan’s intent on taking action on the terror front. It is a travesty of justice not to find Omar Saeed guilty of any charges in this heinous act of terror."

Saeed was acquitted by Sindh High Court but the case was put on appeal which was dismissed by Pakistani Supreme Court. Two out of the three judges on the bench headed by Justice Mushir Alam ruled in favour of upholding the Sindh High Court's verdict.

India while reacting to the development called Islamabad to take "sustained, verifiable, credible and irreversible action" against terrorism and terrorist funding "emanating from all territory under its control remain unchanged."

Sheikh was one of the terrorists released during the infamous Indian Airlines plane IC 814 hijacking case in 1999. A Pakistani-British national, he was arrested by India in the 1990s for kidnapping western tourists.

The mother and father of Daniel Pearl, Ruth and Judea Pearl also strongly reacted to the development, saying the "release of these killers puts in danger journalists everywhere and the people of Pakistan", urging US government to take all "necessary actions under the law to correct this injustice."

Incidentally, after the 26/11 terror attacks, Omar Sheikh pretended to be the then Indian FM late Pranab Mukherjee and made a hoax call to former Pakistan President Zardari leading the country to be put on high alert. He did so while being in jail using UK sims.

Omar Sheikh's acquittal by Pakistan Supreme Court 'travesty of justice', says India

Indian actor Rajkummar Rao who has earned for himself a tag for being an experimental actor is back with what he does best -- experiment.&nbsp;

Seen next in Hansal Mehta&#39;s action-packed film based on a real-life incident titled Omerta, Rajkummar will next be seen portraying the role of British-Pakistani terrorist Omar Saeed Sheikh. The trailer of the film released today while the<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/omerta-first-poster-rajkummar-rao-all-set-to-play-dreaded-terrorist-omar-saeed-shaikh-in-hansal-mehtas-latest-35531" target="_blank"> poster </a>was released just two days back.&nbsp;

<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WvDoOKJrrU4" width="970"></iframe>

Speaking about the film at a media event, director Hansal Mehta said, &quot;Omert&agrave; takes a look at this complex paradox of a man called Omar Saeed Sheikh. It was a difficult subject to choose and a challenge to make. However, with an actor like Rajkummar, no challenge seems insurmountable and this was the ideal film to hurtle us out of our comfort zone to make something that is uncomfortable. But that is the burden of truth - it is uncomfortable and it must be faced. The film looks at what it means to be a fundamentalist and for someone to pick up a gun with the intent of killing in return for an afterlife in Paradise. I want to leave the viewer with a sense of awe, disgust, hate, surprise and let them examine the ramifications of these events on their lives today.&quot;&nbsp;

Playing the role of a character who is visibly negative (being one of the&nbsp;deadliest terrorists of our times), Rajkummar at the event said, &ldquo;Omert&agrave; is among the most researched films that I have worked on till date. We actually visited some of the places frequented by Omar in London during his transformation from an LSE graduation student to becoming this deadly terrorist. I needed to feel and touch this man&rsquo;s past - to ingest him. It was not an easy journey for me to take. With Omert&agrave; and Hansal Sir, we have a combination that will probably leave you stunned. There will be this moment of shock and silence as the end credits roll.&quot;

Omert&agrave; follows the life story of one of the most dreaded terrorists, Omar Saeed Sheikh. The film has been shot in London and India while recreating Pakistan and Afghanistan.&nbsp;

The film is produced by Nahid Khan and directed by Hansal Mehta. It will release on April 20, 2018.
