Download Fighting for Pakistan's Condemned Prisoners

Sohail Yafat is from Lahore, part of the Pakistani city’s minority Christian community. In 2001, Sohail was filled with optimism. Although he'd grown up in poverty, he'd worked tirelessly to fund his education and it looked like it was paying off. He'd got a job at an IT college, and he'd also fallen in love. But Sohail's life plan was derailed when he was wrongfully imprisoned for murder. What followed was a fight for justice, one prison's first Christmas party, and a journey from inmate to investigator.
