A 57-year-old man from Pakistan, who has been living in Italy for many years, is now imprisoned in the Rebibbia jail in Rome to serve a sentence for drug trafficking he took part in 19 years ago. During those 19 years, Iqbal Muhammad led an honest life in Italy, starting a family and never trying to hide from justice.

Iqbal's only remaining hope is a presidential pardon.
