Pakistan executes 14 convicts

Fourteen death row convicts were executed in various jails in Pakistan's Punjab and Balochistan province on Tuesday, said a media report.

Two convicts were hanged in Lahore central jail, Geo News reported.

Two prisoners, convicted of sexually assaulting a girl in 1999, were executed in Sialkot district jail.

One condemned prisoner was executed in Sahiwal central jail.

Three were hanged in Faisalabad central jail and two were convicted for killing three people in 1998, while one convict was sentenced for killing seven people in 2004.

Three prisoners were hanged in Gujranwala central jail, one in Multan central jail while two in Mach.

Pakistan lifted its moratorium on the death penalty in all capital cases on March 10.

Initially, executions were resumed only for terrorism offences in the wake of the Taliban massacre at an army-run school in Peshawar which claimed around 150 lives, mostly school children, on December 16, 2014.
