In addition, the families of convicted Pakistani youths have appealed to the Government of Pakistan for assistance. They claim that their children were sentenced based on false accusations and are innocent.
Furthermore, the families have appealed to the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister for help, stating that they lack the resources to file an appeal against the convictions. Therefore, they are requesting that the Pakistani Embassy in Iraq be asked to provide assistance.
