RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif has signed death warrants of those involved in attack on Peshawar School, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
The army chief signed the black warrants of Maulvi Abdus Salam, Hazrat Ali, Mujeebur Rehman and Sabeel alias Yahya nearly a year after the horrific massacre.
Militants stormed the school on Dec 16, 2014, killing 144 people ─ most of whom were children.
In the wake of the APS carnage, military courts were set up for trying terrorists under amendments made to the Constitution and the Army Act.
This was the first sentence approved by the army chief following the Supreme Court’s August 2015 judgement giving legal cover to the establishment of military courts.
