MULTAN, Pakistan: A murder convict Nasrullah was hanged to death at the Central Jail in Multan on Tuesday morning.
The death row prisoner was awarded the death penalty by a district and sessions court Muzaffargarh in 1994 after he was found guilty of killing a person.
Meanwhile, the preparations were completed to execute two condemned prisoners in Sukkur Central Jail on Wednesday.
Both the death row convicts held separate meetings with their respective families for the last time.
The Pakistani government lifted the six-year moratorium on the death penalty in terrorism related cases in the wake of a Taliban attack at the army-run school in Peshawar. Later, it even completely reinstated capital punishment for all offences that entail the death penalty.
The United Nations, the European Union, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have urged the Pakistan government to re-impose the moratorium on the death penalty.
