The motion

That the Parliament notes with great concern that the first execution in Pakistan in four years is scheduled to take place on 30 June 2012; believes that this could open the door to further executions in the country; understands that there are currently over 8,300 prisoners with death sentences in Pakistan; supports calls by Amnesty International for the death sentence of the Pakistan national, Behram Khan, to be commuted, and believes this to be a cruel and inhumane punishment that should be abandoned in every country.
