    Pak father gets death for killing girl for not making gol roti

    A Pakistani man has been handed down the death penalty by a court here for killing his 12-year-old daughter last year because she did not make 'gol roti'.

    An additional district and sessions judge gave the death penalty to Khalid Mehmood, who murdered his daughter and then dumped the body outside a hospital here.
    Additional District and Sessions Judge Asghar Khan, after hearing arguments from both sides, stated yesterday that such an individual cannot be pardoned who murdered his daughter in cold-blood over a minor dispute.

    According to the prosecution, the convict registered an FIR, claiming his daughter might have been abducted as she had gone out to buy some food but did not return.
    Later, the Shadbagh police learnt the girl found dead outside Mayo Hospital was actually killed by her father for not making 'gol roti' (round bread), the Express Tribune reported.

    Pakistan Sets Execution Date for ‘Insane’ Prisoner

    Authorities in Pakistan have handed down an execution warrant to a death-row prisoner who is severely mentally ill.

    Pakistan's interior ministry today handed down a so-called ‘black warrant’ confirming that it plans to hang Imdad Ali, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, next Wednesday (2nd). Mr Ali was sentenced to death in 2008 over a shooting, following several years in which his family struggled to pay for medical treatment. Since then, a series of medical assessments have confirmed his illness, with one doctor describing him as “insane”, and saying that his condition is “chronic and disabling.”

    Despite this, last week saw Pakistan’s Supreme Court dismiss an appeal by Mr Ali’s lawyers, commenting that schizophrenia is “not a mental disorder.” This afternoon, authorities at the jail where Mr Ali is held confirmed that a warrant has been issued for his execution on November 2nd.

    Pak cleric among 5 given death for burning Christian couple

    LAHORE: A cleric was among five persons who were on Wednesday handed down death penalty by an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan for burning alive a Christian couple after accusing them of committing blasphemy here in 2014.

    Lahore anti-terrorism court judge Chaudhry Muhammad Azam delivered the verdict after the prosecution presented all witnesses.

    He gave death sentence to five suspects including a cleric and also imposed a fine of Rs 200,000 on each for lynching the couple. Eight other suspects were sentenced to two years in prison.

    According to the charge-sheet, the suspects gathered a mob by making announcements from mosques that a young Christian couple - Shahzad and Shama - committed blasphemy in Kot Radha Kishan area of Kasur district, some 50 kms from here, in November 2014.

    Some 600 Muslims led by area clerics reached the brick kiln were the couple worked as labourers and dragged them out of the room after breaking into it.

    They first tortured them and then threw them in the furnace in the kiln. No one from the crowd listened to the couple who were pleading that they were innocent.

    It was all ashes and some bones of the couple which was left to bury after the gory incident.

    The couple had three children and Shama was pregnant.

    SC acquits death row inmate after 24 years

    ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Supreme Court (SC) has acquitted a death row inmate in a murder case after at least 24 years over inconclusive evidence.

    The top court annulled orders of subordinate courts and ordered immediate release of the inmate named Mazhar Farooq.

    The verdict was given by three-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa. The bench stated in its report that there was contradiction in medical reports and statements of the witnesses.

    The prosecution failed to prove the crime, the bench added while saying that even the pistol recovered from the accused did not belong to him.

    However, the court cleared that the release was ordered over suspicions regarding evidence presented before the court. Farooq was alleged of a murder in Kasur area in 1992 and trial court had sentenced him to death which was upheld by a high court.

    Pakistan remains world’s third most prolific executioner

    Pakistan has been the third most prolific executioner in the world for two consecutive years with 419 prisoners on death row already executed thus far.

    It has been two years since the Pakistan Government lifted the suspension on the death penalty following the militant attack on Army Public School (APS) in Peshawar, reports the Dawn.

    The government, while announcing the lifting of six-year-old moratorium on capital punishment as part of its National Action Plan, had said only those convicted of terrorism would be executed. But within three months, in March 2015, the moratorium was lifted across the board.

    Though the move was celebrated initially as an “effective means” to curb terrorism, the government, later, did not publicly present a justification for lifting the moratorium across the board, said Rimmel Mohydin, the media and communications officer at the Justice Project Pakistan (JPP).

    According to data collected by the JPP, only 16 percent of the executions carried out since December 2014 were related to terrorism while a significant number of those executed included juveniles and mentally and physically disabled inmates.

    A press release issued by the JPP on Saturday said that in as many as 88 per cent of ‘terrorism’ cases, there was no link to a terrorist organisation or anything that could be reasonably defined as terrorism.

    The press release said the NAP had correctly observed that there was a need to “revamp and reform Pakistan’s criminal justice system”. However no significant efforts had been made to do this so far.

    This was compounded by the lack of a meaningful appellate process for capital cases, a blatant violation of Pakistan’s international human rights obligations.

    Until March this year, the president had 444 pending mercy petitions while the known number of presidential pardons granted was zero.

    “The justice system is rigged against those who need it the most,” said Mohydin.

    The press release further said it was a dishonour to the memory of the APS attack victims for the state to take lives in their name, when they had no bearing on curbing the menace that caused their deaths.

    Under Pakistani law, 27 crimes carry the death sentence, some of which include sabotaging the railway network and drug trafficking.

    The press release added that an average of 258 death sentences were imposed each year between 2007 and 2015, explaining why the country had the highest populated death row in the world.

    Pakistan’s faulty legal infrastructure remains inaccessible, corrupt, mired in red tape, beholden to power and usurped by influence and wealth, creating a permissive environment for the routine miscarriage of justice. (ANI)

    Pak to hang paralysed octogenarian murder convict

    Pakistan, the world's third most prolific executioner, is set to hang an elderly paralysed murder convict following the rejection of his mercy appeal by the President.

    Khan Iqbal, who is in his 80s, was arrested in a murder case on August 1, 1996, and was convicted and sentenced to death by the lower courts.

    Iqbal is lodged in Adiala jail of garrison city of Rawalpindi where he will be sent to the gallows on Saturday, Dawn reported.

    "After the sessions court issued his black warrants, the jail authorities have asked his family to meet the convict on Friday at Adiala jail," it said.

    The convict's son Bilal Khan has said that since his father is in his 80s and had been paralysed during imprisonment, he had been trying to reach a settlement with the family of the person murdered by his father.

    He claimed that his father had been at home until last year but was directed to report to the jail after the family of the deceased complained to the sessions court.

    He said his father had been in Kohat jail until 2013 when, somehow, he managed to flee while being shifted to another jail. However, he did not disclose how his father remained at home for three years.

    The military courts were set up in Pakistan to expedite the trial process for terror-related offences following the December 2014 Taliban's massacre at an army-run school in Peshawar in which over 150 people, mostly school children, were killed.

    Following the attack, the government lifted the moratorium on the death penalty and the Parliament passed the 21st amendment which established military courts.

    According to an official of the Executive Director of Justice Project Pakistan (JPP), over 400 persons have been executed in two years.

    Pakistan has refused to stop hangings despite mounting criticism by the human rights groups, the UN and the EU against implementation of death penalty.

    There are about 8,000 death row prisoners in Pakistan.
