The Pakistani government has carried out 150 executions in the last six months and has become one of the world's most prolific executioners, amidst concerns that many of those set to be executed gave false confessions under torture.

The figure means that the number of executions in Pakistan in the last six months has far surpassed the figure in nations like Saudi Arabia.

it is hard to imagine when you live in a country that has no death sentence..
some will argue it does good, while some will argue it creates more fanatics...

The only good, as I see it, is simply removal from society of certain incommodious types.

Speaking of Republicans, hmmm...

to be fair Pakistan has 185 million people Saudi Arabia has 29 million
so not even close per capita

and reading further it is because they have had a moratorium since 2008 and was ended after that terrorist attack on the school, and they had 8,500 prisoners that had legally been sentenced to death that were been held indefinitely due to the moratorium.
