Two more convicts hanged in Lahore and Karachi

KARACHI/LAHORE: Two more condemned prisoners Mohammad Saeed alias Maulvi and Zahid alias Zahidu have been hanged at Karachi central prison and Kot Lakhpat jail, Lahore, respectively, on Wednesday morning.

An anti-terrorism court in Karachi had found Saeed guilty for shooting deputy superintendent of police (retd) Syed Sabir Hussain Shah and his young son Syed Abid Hussain Shah.

He was awarded death sentence in April 2001. Saeed had killed both his victims in an ambush near the Malir City railway crossing.

Both Sabir Hussain and his son were reportedly killed on sectarian grounds, whereas Saeed is said to be associated with a banned organisation.

An anti-terrorism court had issued black warrants for his execution on January 03, 2015.

Zahid Hussain alias Zahidu was awarded death sentence by an anti-terrorism court in 2004 for killing a policeman in Multan in 2002.

Earlier on Jan 7, Lahore High Court chief justice had dismissed a petition which sought directions to restrain an anti-terrorism court from issuing death warrants for Zahid Husain.

Hussain through his counsel had pleaded that as he had reached a compromise with legal heirs of the victim, Ghulam Husain, so the trial court should be restrained from issuing his death warrants.

A provincial law officer told the court that the trial court had handed down capital punishment to Zahid Husain under provisions of Anti Terrorism Act (ATA) and added that the offences falling under the ATA were not compoundable.

The chief justice had then dismissed the petition for being non-maintainable.

Mercy appeals of both convicts have been turned down by the President Mamnoon Hussain.

Strict security measures were taken outside the jails in Lahore and Karachi. Besides heavy contingent of police, army and rangers personnel were deployed in and outside the premises of jails.

Ikramul Haq hanged in Lahore

LAHORE: Ikramul Haq, an activist of the banned Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) was hanged at Kot Lakhpat Central Jail, Lahore, on Saturday morning for the 2001 killing of a man at an imambargah in Jhang.

Haq was scheduled to be hung earlier on January 8, 2014 but the execution was delayed at the eleventh hour after an agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant was produced before the magistrate.

Later the condemned prisoner and the plaintiff parties were asked to approach the anti-terrorism court for confirmation of the agreement, pardoning Haq.

Out of eight family members of the deceased Abbas, only his two brothers and a sister appeared before the judge, hence the court refused to accept the agreement and upheld its decision of death sentence to the convict.

Earlier in 2004 an anti-terrorism court in Faisalabad had awarded the death sentence to Ikramul Haq in connection with killing a man Nayyar Abbas, who was a guard of Altaf Shah of the banned Sipah-i-Muhammad at an imambargah in Shorkot, Jhang in 2001.

The ATC had issued his (Haq's) death warrants on January 6, 2014. President of Pakistan Mamnoon Hussain had also turned down his mercy appeal.

The Faisalabad anti-terrorism court had also reissued black warrant for Haq's execution. Council for the convict had challenged the warrants before the Lahore High Court but the petition was dismissed by a bench of the LHC.

Strict security measures were in place in and around Kot Lakhpat Central Jail. Heavy contingent of police, besides army and rangers personnel were deployed in and outside the jail premises.

Death sentences for TTP men behind 2010 Ahmadi attack

LAHORE: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Saturday sentenced to death two Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) men, Moavia and Abdullah, for the deadly attack on an Ahmadi place of worship in 2010.

On May 28, 2010, militants attacked two Ahmadiyya places of worship in the city of Lahore with guns, grenades, and suicide bombs, killing 94 people and wounding well over 100. The Punjabi Taliban, a local affiliate of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (the Pakistani Taliban or TTP), claimed responsibility. Two men were captured during the attack, but the government was heavily criticised by rights groups for failing to make progress on their trial, seeking repeated adjournments from the court as has the defense.

Today, the ATC sentenced Abdullah was sentenced to death on nine counts, whereas Moavia was given the death penalty on seven counts. Both are also handed a fine of Rs3.3 million.

The ATC hearing took place at Kot Lakhpat Jail where the convicts were held. The single-bench court has also sentenced the accused to serve jail-time of seven years.

The attack was carried out in Lahore’s Model Town and Garhi Shahu localities simultaneously.

Two more convicted sectarian killers hanged in Karachi


KARACHI: Two more convicted terrorists affiliated with Lashkar-i-Jhangvi were hanged on Tuesday morning at the central prison in Karachi.

Attaullah alias Qasim and Mohammad Azam alias Sharif were sentenced to death for killing Dr Ali Raza Peerani in June 2001 in Karachi's Soldier Bazaar area.

Strict security measures were taken inside and around the prison. All roads leading towards the central prison were also blocked and heavy contingents of law enforcement agencies were deployed to avert any untoward incident.

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) had declared both of them guilty of the murder in July 2004.

The convicts' appeals against capital punishment had been turned down by the Sindh High Court and later the Supreme Court of Pakistan. President Mamnoon Hussain had also dismissed their mercy petitions.

Black warrants for the execution of the two condemned prisoners were issued on Jan 24 on a request of jail authorities. The trial court had asked jail officials to carry out the hanging under the supervision of a judicial magistrate today.

Following the trial court's order, the convicts held their last meetings with their families.

To Sukkur prison and back

In 2012, they convicted men were shifted to the Sukkur prison from Karachi jail due to security concerns. The jail authorities on a court order had recently shifted them back to the central prison in Karachi.

On Monday, an application of the condemned prisoners seeking suspension of their death warrants was also dismissed.

The convicts through their lawyer Mushtaq Ahmed had moved the application in an anti-terrorism court. They had said that the Sindh High Court in its order had asked the jail authorities in October 2013 to move them back to Karachi 15 days before their execution. But, the counsel argued, the SHC order was not properly complied with, as both men were shifted back hardly three days before their hanging.

The counsel had then asked the court to suspend the black warrants and issue fresh warrants in accordance with the SHC order.

While turning down the plea, Judge Mohammad Javed Alam of the ATC-V observed that the 15 days' time was not specifically mentioned in the SHC order.

The trial court had already issued shifting orders of both convicts on a similar application last week, the court added.

Both condemned prisoners have been dodging death for the past many years, since the implementation on their black warrants repeatedly issued by the trial court was stayed as the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) government had placed a moratorium on executions after coming to power in 2008. The moratorium was lifted on Dec 17, 2014 in the wake of the Peshawar school carnage.

 

[Pak_Sher]

Hang all the terrorists. Great job. They deserve no mercy.

 

[Menace2Society]

So when does this begin? Hanging 1 or 2 people does not deliver justice. Pakistan is failing to provide justice for its citizens.

Might as well hand over country to ISIS, they can execute well.
