Pakistan on Wednesday hanged nine more jailed murderers, officials said, taking the number of convicts executed over the past two days to 21, as the European Union condemned the executions, Euronews network reported.
The latest round in Punjab province brings to 48 the total number of convicts hanged since Pakistan resumed capital punishment in December after Taleban militants gunned down 154 people, most of them children, at a school in the restive northwest.
The partial lifting of the moratorium, which began in 2008, only applied to those convicted of terrorism offences, but was last week extended to all capital offences.
