| 2014-12-29 |
| PESHAWAR: Another convicted terrorist in the Pervez Musharraf attack case is likely to be executed in 24 hours, media reports said on Sunday. Niaz Muhammad, convicted for attacking the former military dictator along with other accomplices in Rawalpindi is now on death row. Niaz was incarcerated at a jail in Haripur. He has now been shifted to Peshawar jail for execution. His death warrants have already been issued. After the deadliest terror attack at a military-run school in Peshawar, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ended the six-year moratorium on the death penalty, reinstating it for terrorism-related cases. Interior ministry has finalised the cases of 500 convicts who have exhausted all the appeals, their mercy petitions have been turned down by the president and their executions will take place soon. |
