Summary ATC has issued death warrant of Shafqat Hussain for the fifth time.
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi has issued death warrant of Shafqat Hussain for the fifth time, Dunya News reported on Monday.
The court has directed the jail authorities to hang the convict on August 4 in the morning.
Shafqat’s execution has been delayed for four times. He murdered a seven-year-old boy after kidnapping him for ransom.
It is pertinent to mention here that due to the protests of Human rights organizations, implementation on Shafqat’s execution was deferred.
The organizations are of the view that Shafqat Hussain was a teenager at the time of the crime whereas Federal Investigation Agencies (FIA) state that this was not proved during interrogation.
The death sentence of Shafqat Hussain was halted before by Islamabad High Court (IHC).
