As many as 15 convicted prisoners have been hanged to death in different jails across the country in early this morning, Tuesday.
Two death row inmates were executed each in Lahore and Sialkot and three each in Gujranwala and Faisalabad. One murderer each was sent to gallows in Rawalpindi, Sahiwal, Multan, Gujrat and Machh jail.
Execution of a convict prisoner was put on hold by Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail administration as the two sides of litigants reached a compromise deal.
