EXECUTION AND CONVICTION OF TERRORISTS:

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MILITARY VERSUS CIVILIAN COURTS IN

PAKISTAN

by

M. Suleman Shahid

INTRODUCTION

On December 16, 2014, terrorists attacked the Army Public School Peshawar, as a

result of which 149 people - mostly school children and teaching staff - were

martyred. The shock of this horrific incident was felt in the entire world, and

compelled the civilian and military leadership of the country to take every possible

action to dismantle this menace permanently. In this context, the very next day the

Prime Minister of Pakistan lifted the moratorium on death penalty in terror-related

cases, with the approval and consensus of other major political parties. On December

24, 2014, an All Parties Conference (APC) meeting was held in Peshawar, chaired

by the Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif himself; the meeting concluded with a

unanimous agreement by all political parties on a twenty-point ‘National Action Plan

(NAP)’ to curb the threat of terrorism from the country.

The first two points of this document are very important and continue to be debated

at different fora. These points are “to execute to enforce executions for terrorists

sentenced to death” and that “special trial courts will be established under military

officers so such elements can be dealt with without delay.”

Intrinsically, there are two purposes for lifting the death penalty moratorium in

terrorism-related cases and creating a National Action Plan. The first is to execute

2

all inmates convicted of involvement in terrorist activities, so that the state may be

able to convey a very strong message to any entities challenging its writ. The second

purpose is to implement these sentences as soon as possible through speedy trial

courts, as the current civilian courts, even Anti-Terrorists Courts (ATCs), face many

challenges within a weak system that has oft forced them to release many terrorists

due to incomplete evidences or a flawed prosecution process.

Against this backdrop, on December 19, 2014 Pakistan carried out its first executions

in ten years, and hung Dr Usman and Arshad Mahmood in Faisalabad Central Jail.

Both had been convicted by military courts for their involvement in the attack on

Army GHQ and the assassination attempts on former President General Pervez

Musharraf. On March 10, 2015, the Interior Ministry of Pakistan lifted its

moratorium on death penalty in all capital cases. In this context, the Interior Ministry

directed Provincial Governments to proceed with the execution of prisoners who had

exhausted all avenues of appeal and clemency.

METHODOLOGY

The report is based on secondary data carefully collected from print media. This data

is related to all the executions that have taken place in Pakistan since December,

2014. Qualitative analysis has been made cross-sectionally as well as longitudinally.

The cross-section analysis answers the question of comparative efficiency of the

civil and military courts. The question as to whether the civilian courts can perform

in the terrorism-related cases efficiently is also deliberated in this section. The data

is represented in pie charts; these show a positive trend in the performance of these

civilian courts. However, when the time dimension is reviewed, the data indicates a

reverse trend and favors the military courts. Likewise, when the number of

‘substantial’ terrorists is quantified, the judgments trend favors military courts.

3

This data has been mainly categorized into three different sections i.e. first category

is related to the types of court - military court, civilian courts or ATCs - that have

convicted and/or ordered the executions in terrorism-related cases. The second

category separates the executions of terrorists from other criminals, and indicates

which court ordered which executions. The third category is related to monthly and

province-based data for these executions.

LIMITATIONS

All data has been collected from open-source print media. Therefore it may not be

complete, as some information regarding many executions has either not been

disclosed or published by the print media. Furthermore, due to constraints and

limitations on some information, bits and pieces are either unknown or unconfirmed.

This report is not an attempt to justify the argument that questions the

constitutionality of the establishment of military courts by the government. Rather,

it relates to the performance of the various courts based on data analysis.

DATA COLLECTION

All data has been collected from secondary sources; mainly from newspapers. In this

regard, mainstream print media like Dawn, Express Tribune, The Nation, The News

and Daily Times provided fruitful information and data for this report.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this report is to scrutinize the efficiency of the country’s various trial

courts like the Civilian Courts, Anti-Terrorism Courts (ATCs) and military courts

via court-martial laws. Since its announcement, a debate has been initiated inside

and outside Pakistan on the newly established military courts after 21st amendment

that new military courts under 21st amendment are workable or not and why the

civilian court could not deal the terror related cases. In this regard, this report

4

analyzes the previous conviction records of trial courts of the country in terror related

cases.

CATEGORIES OF TRIAL COURTS

PEOPLE CONVICTED THROUGH DIFFERENT TRIAL COURTS

Up till June 16, 2015, more than a 100 inmates that had been convicted by the various

courts – military, civilian courts and ATCs – have been hung across the country. In

this context, 35 percent of the convicted who have been executed were sentenced by

civilian courts such as the session courts, district courts etc.

Likewise, another 28 percent were convicted by the ATCs, and 7 percent from

military courts via court-martials, while the convictions of another 30 percent could

not be identified through the existent database of available sources. This chart shows

the total number of cases, and indicates a trend within the sentencing which favors

the civilian courts. However, the case becomes more questionable once the nature

of the cases is analyzed more closely, as during these trials anti-terror laws were also

applied to other related cases which are considered separate from the cases of

‘hardcore terrorism’. The next section categorizes these cases, and is visually

explained in the following charts.

CATEGORIES OF CONVICTED EXECUTIONS

The basic purpose of NAP and the lifting of the moratorium on the death penalty

was to be able to execute ‘terrorists’ swiftly and effectively, in order to send a strong

message to possible perpetrators.

However, on 10th March 2015,

the government completely lifted

the ban on the death penalty, and

also ordered the executions of

convicts in cases related to

homicide and kidnapping, even if

there were no affiliations with

any terrorist organization. This

measure was taken as the segregation between terrorists and people convicted for

other crimes had proven highly problematic due to the complexity of related

incidents and the application of laws.

The measure itself is also highly problematic, as it dilutes the purpose of the lifting

of the moratorium. According to a December 2014 report by the Justice Project

Pakistan and Reprieve, “Data and projections from individual case studies suggest

that as many as 86% of those sentenced under the ‘terrorism’ laws had nothing to do

with terror at all.”

Convicts who were involved in the killing or attempt to kill any government official,

high profile person and/or have affiliations with any band organization have been

included the list of ‘terrorists’, while the remaining have been included into the

category of ‘Other Criminals’ in this list. According this criteria, since December

2014 to date, only 23 percent of convicted terrorists have been hung, while 77

percent of the executed are other criminals.

This data questions, therefore, the performance of the civil and anti-terrorist courts

in terms of convictions in hard core terrorism cases.

CONVICTED TERRORISTS EXECUTED THROUGH THE DECISIONS OF TRIAL COURTS

Since December 2014, a total of 30 individuals from terror related cases, hardcore

and otherwise, were ordered to be executed in different jails. The ‘hardcore’

terrorists include those who belong to terrorist organizations and were involved in

attacks on high profile government officials, while ‘other’ terrorists are those who

were involved in attacks on low-

ranking government officials,

such as police personnel. The

majority of these terrorists – 16

to be exact – were convicted and

hung by the ATCs, while 10 were

convicted by military courts

(including mostly court-martials

but also some civilian

convictions), 2 by Azad Jammu

and Kashmir Shariat Court - a civilian court – whereas the courts responsible for the

convictions of about 2 people remain unconfirmed. This is evidence that the ATC

can perform effectively. However, this analysis weakens when the time dimension

is applied, i.e. the number of cases tried in ATC since its establishment and the

establishment of the military courts. To get a precise answer, the ratio of cases in

military courts should be compared with those of ATC and other civil courts along

a definite timeline.

In this regard it is important to conduct the analysis from two perspectives. Firstly,

one must analyze the ratio of executions since the NAP was put into effect, and

secondly, only then make the comparison between the military and civilian courts.

The categorization of analyses in this manner can provide the answer to the speed in

trials after the implementation of the NAP.

CATEGORIZED EXECUTION DATA

EXECUTIONS: MONTHLY DATA FOR 2014-2015

During the last six months, over one hundred convicted terrorists and other criminals

were executed in the country. In this context, highest number of convicts that have

been exectued has been in the month of March , with 41 hangings in total.

25 convicted executions took place in April, while 12 in May, 21 in June, 13 in

January, 7 in December and 4 in February. The trend peaked in the month of the

March, following which its slowing pace indicates that the implementation of the

NAP has also slowed down. Howerver, this also varies from province to province

and city to city, based on the data related to convictions and trial complied in this

report.

EXECUTIONS: PROVINCE-BASED DATA

According to the available sources of data, the majority of the convicted went to

gallows in Punjab. It has been observed that this was because these convicted were

kept in Punjab jails, as they were often safer than those in other provinces.

EXECUTIONS: CITY-BASED DATA

After the implementation of NAP, 19 cities’ facilities have been used to hang

convicted terrorists. In this regard, the highest number of executions has been in

Faisalabad.

It is important to note that the majority of convicted terrorists have been hung in

Faisalabad. Additionally, up till now, 20 convicts have been executed in Faisalabad

while 15 in Rawalpindi, 10 in Lahore, 8 in Multan and Gujranwala each, and less

than eight people have been hung in the other cities.

The variation from province to province and city to city is dependent upon the

performance of the NAP. However, the question as to whether the military courts

are more desirable for efficiency in comparison with the civil courts, including

ATCs, is highlighted in the following tables.
