Peshawar High Court halts execution of another military court convict

[DAWN] A Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
High Court bench on Thursday stayed the execution of another krazed killer sentenced to death by a military court on different counts of terrorism and suspended his death sentences.
A divisional bench of the high court heard a judicial review of the petition filed by family members of the convicted TTP krazed killer Syed Qasim Shah.
The accused was awarded death sentenced over charges of attack on a non-governmental organization World Vision in Manshera, in which its six Pak employees were killed.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), media wing of Pakistain Army, had issued a blurb on December 16, 2016, wherein it was mentioned that the Chief of Army Staff had confirmed death sentences awarded to 13 "hard core krazed killers", including Qasim Shah.
Earlier in December, the Peshawar High Court had halted the death sentences of five Death Eaters convicted by a military court.
The high court has normally been conducting in-camera proceedings of final arguments in cases of military courts convicts.
Several of the military court convicts approached the high court but failed to get relief against their convictions.
