Woman, three men executed for 'adultery' in Khyber
 A young woman and three men were publicly executed on Monday in Khyber Agency after a private organisation declared them guilty of adultery. Members of the Sipah Eslahi (Soldiers of Reform) Committee, which is regarded as a sister organisation of Lashkar-e-Islami, carried out the public executions in Speray Dam with up to 40 shots fired at the guilty people, eyewitness said. The executed were not blindfolded when the five-man squad opened fire on them in front of what a member of the organisation said were around 500 faithful. Haji Jan Gul, a member of the committee said the executions were aimed at keeping the area clean of such vices. The committee caught the three men and the woman red-handed in Alamgudar village when we raided a house after an informer told us about unethical activities taking place in the said house, Gul told Daily Times. This was the second public execution this year. Posted by: Fred 2007-06-05 |
