Number of executions in Pakistan reaches 75

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: A total of 75 condemned prisoners have been executed across the country after five more death row convicts were hanged to death in various jails across Punjab on Thursday morning.

   

The sources said that two death row convicts Majid and Qaiser were executed in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail in two separate murder cases.

The convict Majid was accused of murdering six people in Wah Cantt while Qaiser was awarded death penalty for killing a colleague.

Likewise, two death row inmates Aijaz and Abdul Jabbar were hanged till death at the Central Jail in Gujranwala.

Both the convicts were found guilty of killing two persons in 1995 and 2001 respectively.

While Zafar Iqbal, convicted of murdering a woman who resisted during a robbery in 2005, was executed in the Faisalabad Central Jail.

With the latest execution, 75 death row convicts including 60 in Punjab have so far been hanged till death in various jails across the country after the deadly attack on the Peshawar’s Army Public School on December 16 last year.

Following the incident, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lifted the moratorium on the death penalty in terrorism related cases. Later, the federal government completely reinstated capital punishment for all offences that entail the death penalty.
