Afghanistan Executes Prisoners
Filed Under: World
Afghanistan has ended a 3-yr + moratorium on capital punishment by executing 15 prisoners.
Afghanistan has executed 15 prisoners, including a man convicted of killing three western journalists and an Afghan photographer, in the country’s first use of the death penalty in over three years, Chief of Prisons Abdul Salam Ismat said Monday.
Ismat said the mass executions took place Sunday under Afghan law, which calls for condemned prisoners to be shot to death.
I wonder how this latest development will impact on current relations with NATO especially Canada?
