Four prisoners convicted for their involvement in an attack on former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf are to be hanged Sunday in Punjab, the media reported Sunday.
Zubair Ahmed, Rasheed Qureshi and Ghulam Sarwar Bhatti and Russian citizen Akhlaque Ahmed were shifted from the Central Jail in Faisalabad to the death row in another jail late Saturday, Dawn online reported.
Pakistan has begun executing terrorists sentenced to death since a terrorist massacre left over 140 students and teachers dead in a Peshawar school last week.
On Friday, two former soldiers were executed in Faisalabad.
One of them was executed for the 2009 attack on the Pakistan Army General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. Another was hanged for his role in the attempt to kill Musharraf in 2003.
All the roads leading to the detention facility in Faisalabad have been blocked, the report said.
