Renowned Pakistani Shia leader, Allama Ghulam Raza Naqvi, has been discharged from a prison in the eastern province of Punjab, where he spent 18 years behind the bars without any conviction against him. <br /> <br />“Spending eighteen years in jail on committing the crime of being a Shia, and now coming back home has given me more strength to struggle for protection of our organization,” the cleric told Press TV on Saturday, adding, “If being a Shia is a crime, then I will probably confess to this crime. This is what I am made for. This is what I am going to do till the last breath that I take.”
