| 2014-12-26 |
| [DAWN] Two convicts whose execution was stayed by the Sindh High Court approached the Supreme Court on Wednesday for an early decision on their second review petition. On Dec 19, an anti-terrorism court in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... had issued black warrants for their execution. The executions were slated for Tuesday (Dec 23). Attaullah alias Qasim Muavia and Mohammad Azam alias Sharif, who are confined in Sukkur jail, requested the apex court to set aside the black warrants. They were found guilty of killing a doctor, Ali Raza Peerani, on sectarian grounds in Karachi's Soldier Bazaar area in June 2001. |
