Since 1990, Sarabjit Singh was jailed in Kot Lakhpat Jail in Pakistan. He was an Indian National convicted by Pakistani authorities for his involvement in 1990 serial bomb blasts in Lahore and Faislabad. Sarabjit for past 10-12 years has been claiming that he was a farmer and his identity was mistaken by the authorities. He was sentenced to death in 1991, but his hanging has been repeatedly postponed. Five mercy petitions have been filed on his behalf, and with the help of this he has served 22 years of prison term for a crime he is not guilty of. Pakistan's President had ordered his release after the petition was filed on May, 2012. 5 hours later this pardon was revoked and it was claimed that another prisoner, Surjeet Singh was released and not Sarabjit.

Talking about the recent jail attacks on Sarabjit, last week of April month(26th April,2013), he was attacked in the Jail by six prisoners with bricks, sharp metal sheets, iron rods and blades. He was admitted to the hospital immediately with severe head injuries in a critical condition. He was in coma, with a broken backbone and on a ventilator. According to his family members, the attacks on Sarabjit was planned and they say the jail authorities were also involved in these attacks. Sarabjit had been threatened many a times after Afzal Guru was executed in India in Feb-2013. He was involved in the Indian Parliament attack case. Some sources say that the attacks on Sarabjit Singh was planned after Afzal Guru's execution.

Appeals by lawyers were also filed wtih the supreme court of Pakistan to send Sarabjit for medical treatment to the UK or outside Pakistan to save his life.
