Pakistan on Tuesday hanged a political activist convicted of murder, whose execution was delayed after he claimed in a video that his party chief had ordered him to carry out the killing.
Saulat Ali Khan, also known as Saulat Mirza, was in 1999 sentenced to death for the murder of the then managing director of the Karachi state-owned electricity company two years earlier.
“Saulat Mirza was hanged at 4:30 a.m. early morning today (2330 GMT Monday),” Sikandar Kakar, a senior official at Mach jail in southwestern Baluchistan province where Mirza was imprisoned, said.
A senior official of the jails department Zia Tareen also confirmed the hanging.
