Bangladesh's president has pardoned 20 death-row prisoners four years after they were sentenced for the murder of a then-ruling party activist, a prison official said Tuesday. Ten of the prisoners were freed from the capital Dhaka's central jail, with the rest being released from a jail in northwestern Bangladesh, central jail superintendent Touhidul Islam told a foreign news agency. "We received the presidential clemency order last night," he said.
