Pak hangs seven death row prisoners

Seven prisoners on death row have reportedly been executed across jails in Pakistan's Punjab.

Three murder convicts: Nabeel Ahmed, Muhammed Saleem and Muhammed Rashid were hanged amid high security at the Faisalabad Central Jail, reported The Express Tribune.

Another two prisoners were executed in Sahiwal Central Jail while, a man convicted for the murder of two people was hanged in Mianwali Central Jail. The capital punishment handed down to the seventh inmate for a murder committed 15 years ago was carried out in Gujrat.

The country has already executed 150 death row prisoners since a moratorium on death penalty was lifted late last year. Pakistan has however, decided to pause hanging of prisoners for 30 days, in the month of Ramazan.
