| 2015-06-11 |
| [DAWN] Aftab Bahadur Masih was executed on Wednesday morning in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail, prison officials said. According to rights groups, Masih was tortured into confessing to a murder committed more than two decades ago, when he was still a minor. "Aftab Bahadur Masih, a Christian man, was hanged in Kot Lakhpat prison of Lahore Wednesday morning," an official at the jail told AFP on condition of anonymity. The execution comes just days after Shafqat Hussain ─ also convicted for a crime reportedly committed as a child ─ was granted a last-minute reprieve. |
