On December 17, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lifted a six-year moratorium on death penalty for those convicted for terrorism a day after the deadly attack on Army Public School in Peshawar that left 150 persons including mostly children dead. Seven militants convicted of attacks on the Pakistan Army headquarters and former military ruler Pervez Musharraf have been hanged so far.
