TWO MEN FACE EXECUTION, ONE CONVICTED AT 16
Two
men are due to be executed in Karachi Central Prison on 7 March. One of
the men was aged 16 when he was sentenced to death in 1999. Unless
halted, this will take the number of executions to 26 since the
moratorium was lifted in December 2014.
Death row prisoners, Muhammad Afzal and Muhammed Faisal
are set to be executed on 7 March. Their death warrants were issued by
the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on 23 February. They are currently in
Sukkur Jail, Sindh province and will be moved to Karachi Central Jail
where preparations for the executions are underway.
