KARACHI: Six murder convicts were hanged in Punjab and Sindh prisons on Wednesday, while execution of two were halted, Express News reported.

Over 50 criminals have been hanged since the government lifted moratorium on death penalty last year in the wake of militant attack on Army Public School which killed at least 150 people, mostly school children.

The latest executions took place at Sukkur Central Jail, Mianwali Central Jail, Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail, Bahawalpur Central Jail and Sahiwal Central Jail.

Lord of the Ring | 9 years ago | Reply @Mohsin Raza Khan: Many terrorists have been hanged to death already including bigwigs like Dr. Usman etc. Such terrorists are daily being killed in Zarbe-eAzb from North Wairistan to Khyber Agency to Karachi. Yet pseudos keep on spewing dirty propaganda that nothing's being done against extremist terrorists. And why the murderers of innocent people should not be hanged to death including ones who killed 7 year old children and now enjoy support of liberal fascists who portray them as "underage" while the murderer photo taken at the time of arrest shows him to be in 20s
