Three hanged in Pakistan for gang rape
Three Pakistani men were hanged today for gang-raping a woman six years ago, after appeals against their conviction and pleas for clemency were turned town, an official said.
The executions were carried out at dawn at the heavily-guarded prison in Bahawalpur, a town about 105 miles south-west of Multan in eastern Punjab province, said Shaukat Hussain, deputy superintendent of the jail.
