Pakistanis face execution after British-funded drugs bust
MORE than 100 prisoners apprehended in British-funded drug arrests in Pakistan are now facing execution, legal action charity Reprieve said yesterday.
The warning followed a judge’s decision this week to schedule a hanging that would end the country’s two-year moratorium on the death penalty.
Pakistani prisoner Shoaib Sarwar was granted a one-month stay of execution which expires on Monday October 27.
