This refers to "Kot Lakhpat Hanging" (Dawn, March 7).
Even in advanced country like the UK,, a Muslim was hanged for a crime he did not commit and thirty-six years after his death, he was declared innocent. So we shouldn't be surprised if this kind of thing happens in Pakistan also. Surely now is the time for the state to abolish the death penalty, before more innocent people are executed.
