Capital punishment in Pakistan

Capital punishment is legal in Pakistan. There had been a moratorium on executions since 2008, but the moratorium was lifted for terrorism related cases as of 16 December 2014, following the massacre of 132 students and 9 members of staff of the Army Public School and Degree College Peshawar. On 19 December 2014, Pakistan executed two prisoners convicted of offences unrelated to the Peshawar massacre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pakistan resumes executions after Peshawar school attack )〕 As of September 2015, Pakistan has executed 239 death row prisoners since 2014 Peshawar school massacre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Reprieve – Pakistan executions top 200 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Death Penalty in Pakistan )
At least 241 people were sentenced to death in Pakistan in 2005, and at least 31 were executed – the fifth highest number in the world. :Pakistan ranked fifth (total cases – not per capita) after the People's Republic of China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States.〔

The government stated there will be no general amnesty for the convicts waiting for execution.〔dawn.com/2013/07/05/no-general-amnesty-for-death-row-convicts-govt/〕 As of 4 July 2013, Amnesty International estimated there are more than 8,000 prisoners on death row.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pakistan: Thousands of prisoners at risk if government resumes executions )〕 The European Union (EU) has sharply reacted over lifting of the moratorium on the death penalty in Pakistan, and has demanded its immediate restoration, which had been in place since 2008.
Amnesty International recorded 13 executions in 1999, while the moratorium was intact.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amnesty International: Death Penalty News September 2000 )〕 and it reports these execution were carried out by the lower courts. However it is not at all apparent what the report means by "lower courts" as only one Trial Court, the Court of Sessions, has the power to award capital punishment (Section 31(2) Code of Criminal Procedure and that Court generally tries only the most serious crimes. All death sentences have to be confirmed by the High Court (Sections 31(25), 374 and 376 Code of Criminal Procedure).
Controversially Pakistan was one of only eight countries in the world (China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, United States and Yemen), that since 1990 executed prisoners who were under 18 years old at the time of committing a crime. Pakistan along with the United States and Yemen have now raised the minimum age to 18 in law to be eligible for execution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amnesty International: Facts and Figures on the Death Penalty )
Hanging is the only legal method of execution (Section 368 Code of Criminal Procedure).

The following day, an official from the interior ministry confirmed that 200th inmates had been executed since the moratorium ended in December 2014.
