Munter reiterates demand for Davis's release

ISLAMABAD: United States (US) Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter on Thursday reiterated the demand for the release of American gunman Raymond Davis.

During a meeting with Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir in Islamabad, Munter said that Davis enjoyed diplomatic immunity in criminal cases hence his detention is illegal.

Bashir said the government is facing immense public pressure over the issue adding that the matter was sub-judice and it would be dealt according to national and international laws.

According to sources, the US envoy maintained that Davis could not be tried in Pakistan however he was hesitant in assuring that the shooter would be tried in a US court.
