BARA: A young woman and three men were publicly executed on Monday in Khyber Agency after a private organisation declared them guilty of adultery.
Members of the Sipah Eslahi (Soldiers of Reform) Committee, which is regarded as a sister organisation of Lashkar-e-Islami, carried out the public executions in Speray Dam with up to 40 shots fired at the “guilty people,” eyewitness said. The executed were not blindfolded when the five-man squad opened fire on them in front of what a member of the organisation said were around 500 “faithful”.
Haji Jan Gul, a member of the committee said the executions were aimed at “keeping the area clean of such vices”. “The committee caught the three men and the woman red-handed in Alamgudar village when we raided a house after an informer told us about unethical activities taking place in the said house,” Gul told Daily Times. This was the second public execution this year. qazi rauf
