EU condemns Pakistan\\\'s return to hangings

Thursday, 25 December 2014



ISLAMABAD, Dec 24 (AFP): The European Union mission in Islamabad on Wednesday condemned Pakistan's decision to restart executions in the wake of the country's bloodiest-ever terror attack.
Pakistan has hanged six prisoners since announcing last week that a six-year moratorium on the death penalty was being lifted in terror cases.
The decision came amid public outrage over a Taliban massacre at a school in the northwestern city of Peshawar which killed 150 people, including 134 children.
