 Four Pakistani expatriates in Kuwait were hanged in public in Naif Palace, Kuwait City, on Saturday. Kuwaiti police had arrested them on drug peddling charges, which is punishable by death in Kuwait. The Pakistanis had appealed against their death sentence, but the higher courts, including the Amir’s Apex Court, upheld the death sentence.
