Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Raheel Sharif has signed the death warrants of 10 convicted terrorists, ISPR reported on Thursday.
The ‘terrorists’ were involved in the killing of innocent civilians, polio workers, non-governmental organisation employees, police officials and armed forces personnel, ISPR said.
They are: Muhammad Shahid Omar son of Zaman Khan, Hussain Shah s/o Fazal-e-Hadi, Zafar Iqbal s/o Muhammad Khan, Anwer Zeb s/o Tootkay, Obaid ur Rehman s/o Fazal Hadi, Sher Alam s/o Hanif ur Rehman, Atta Ullah s/o Muhammad Sultan, Mushtaq Khan s/o Saeed Gul and Asghar Khan s/o Nadar Khan and Shams ul Qamar s/o Sha Gulbar.
The COAS signed their death warrants after their cases were heard in military courts.
The military courts were established after the APS Peshawar attack in December 2014. They were established to give swift verdicts over cases of convicted terrorists.
Since the establishment of the military courts, several militants have been hanged.
