Summary of Case:	"Ghulam Mohammad was wrongly convicted on April 23, 2018 of attempting to plant an improvised explosive device in Peshawar, Pakistan in 2017. Mohammad was arrested on August 15, 2017 at his home in Garyala village in Mardan, which is 30 miles from Peshawar. His prosecution was based on the allegation he planted a five kg explosive device near a bridge in Peshawar. His defense was that he was over 30 miles from where the device was planted, and he was arrested at his home. Several witnesses testified for the defense that Mohammad was arrested in Garyala. After his conviction Mohammad was sentenced to 10 years rigorous imprisonment. Mohammad appealed. In September 2018 a three-judge panel of the Peshawar High Court unanimously set aside Mohammad's conviction on the basis the prosecution's evidence was insufficient because it did not connect him with the commission of the offence. Mohammad was ordered released from custody."
