Summary Prime Minister sent advice to the President to reject mercy pleas of five terrorists.
ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has forwarded an advice to President Mamnoon Hussain to reject mercy appeals of five convicted terrorists, the Radio Pakistan reported on Friday.
The mercy petitions of Muhammad Ikram-ul-Haq, Ahmed Ali, Mohammad Tayyab, Ghulam Shabbir and Zulfiqar Ali are pending at the Presidency.
On December 17, the Prime Minister lifted a six-year moratorium on death penalty for those convicted for terrorism a day after the deadly attack on Army Public School in Peshawar that left 150 persons including mostly children dead.
Seven militants convicted of attacks on the Pakistan Army headquarters and former military ruler Pervez Musharraf have since been hanged.
