Security institutions have requested the Interior Ministry to immediately take steps for the implementation of death sentences awarded to dangerous terrorists.
Prisoners on death row include top terrorists and criminals including Niaz Ahmad, Fazal Hameed, Malik Noor Badshah, Ahmad Umer Saeed Sheikh, Aqeel alias Dr Usman and others.
In a letter to the Interior Ministry, the security institutions have stated that if the sentences were not implemented, these terrorists could become security risk in the future.
The communiqué recommended executing death sentences without considering the reaction from their organizations as these top terrorists could also plan terrorist attacks while in jail.
Sources said that presently, more than 300 terrorists were awaiting implementation of death sentences in different jails and there was “every possibility” that terrorists may attack these jails to get them free as it had been witnessed in Bannu and DI Khan jails in the past.
