Pakistan hangs man despite case doubt

Pakistan hanged a man whose case had triggered international outcry, because, his lawyers said, he was arrested as a juvenile and tortured into confessing to murder.

Pakistan has hanged 200 people since December, when a massacre by militants at a school in the city of Peshawar prompted the government to lift a de facto ban on capital punishment.

Only Iran and China have executed more people, says human rights group, Amnesty International.
