A Pakistani man is executed by hanging 2

KUWAIT CITY, KUWAIT: A Pakistani man is executed by hanging 27 January 2004 in Kuwait City after being convicted by the authorities of drug trafficking. This is the the fifth execution of a drug dealer since the introduction in 1995 of a law imposing the death penalty for trafficking. Only last week, Kuwaiti authorities publicly displayed the corpse of an executed Pakistani heroin trafficker still hanging from the gallows. Three Bangladeshi men, convicted of murder, were hanged in public in 2002. Kuwait has executed at least 22 people since the 1991 Gulf War, and 47 since the first execution was carried out in the oil-rich emirate four decades ago, the majority of them for murders.
