The prisoner Javed alias Jeeda was sent to gallows in Kot Lakhpat Jail of Lahore. Javed was convicted of killing two people namely Qasim and Siddiq back in 1987.
The convict was awarded death sentence by a trail court in the year 1989.
Javed was hanged as the President of Pakistan rejected his clemency plea.
Pakistan lifted the moratorium on death penalty on Dec. 17, a day after Pakistani Taliban gunmen attacked Army Public School in Peshawar and killed 134 students and 19 adults.
The moratorium, in force since 2008, was initially lifted only in terrorism cases. But the government extended the order in March, directing provincial governments to proceed with hangings for all death row prisoners who have exhausted their appeals and clemency petitions.
