ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The authorities have carried out two executions in Multan Central Jail on Monday morning, after a month-long moratorium on hanging expired with the end of Ramazan.

Last month as Ramazan began in Pakistan, the federal government had directed to temporarily suspend the executions across the country to observe the sanctity of the holy month.

   

Executions resume in Pakistan after Ramazan ends

Two prisoners Farooq Babar and Karim Nawaz were hanged to death in Multan on Monday after they had been found guilty in two separate murder cases.

The murder convict Farooq Babar had murdered a person in 1998 after the later failed to return an amount of borrowed money while Karim Nawaz had killed a person over an old feud.

Meanwhile, a Rawalpindi court issued death warrants of seven convicts including Aslam, Aftab, Irshad, Zafar, Akhlaq, Ashraf and Jehandad. They will likely be hanged on Tuesday (tomorrow).

Since December 2014, nearly 150 persons who were found guilty of committing murders or terror attacks have been executed in various jails across Pakistan.

The international organizations have repeatedly voiced their concerns over the resumption of executions in Pakistan and urged Islamabad to bring it to an end because it is tantamount to violation of its international obligations.

However, Pakistan insists that executions are being conducted according to its laws and they will be continued.
