KARACHI: Two men were sentenced to death on Tuesday for starting a fire at a Pakistan garment factory that killed over 260 people in 2012.
A Karachi court found Mohammad Zubair and Abdul Rehman guilty of arson, ruling the pair intentionally set the Ali Enterprises factory ablaze after the owner refused to pay a bribe. The court sentenced them to 264 separate death sentences, along with life imprisonment.
“I am satisfied with the court’s verdict as it has awarded them very appropriate sentences,” public prosecutor Sajid Mehboob Sheikh said. (AFP)
