In the next few weeks a series of executions will be held in Pakistan. In total, the death penalty will be applied to about 500 terrorists, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said.
Somewhat earlier, on December 17, Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lifted a moratorium on the death penalty, which had existed in the country since 2008, after the "Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan" attack on one of the secondary schools in the city of Peshawar (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), which killed 148 people, including more than 130 children, Tass reports.
