Police soldiers escort Shahid Zafar, second from right, and five other paramilitary soldiers, after a Pakistani court handed the death sentence to Zafar and life prison terms to six other persons for killing a teenager in Karachi, Pakistan, Aug. 12. According to media sources, six soldiers and a private contractor were arrested after video of the execution-style murder of Sarfaraz Shah, 19, was made public, causing outrage and prompting the Supreme Court to direct an anti-terror court to try them for murder. After a two-month trial, the court issued the death sentence to Zafar for shooting the man and life sentence to five other soldiers for letting him kill the victim, while a civilian contractor got a life sentence handing Shah over to Rangers for allegedly robbing a woman in a park. |
