A question for the champions of #Islamization: Should Pakistan resume 
the Capital punishment and then try to compete with Iran and China in 
executing most people peer year. And if their answer is yes, then what 
would be the future of talks with the Taliban.<br />

                     <br />
                         When he felt the noose around his neck, Balal 
must have thought  he was about to take his last breath. Minutes 
earlier, crowds had  watched as guards pushed him towards the gallows 
for what was meant to  be yet another public execution in the Islamic 
republic of Iran.<br />
<br />
<br />
Seven  years ago Balal, who is in his 20s, stabbed 18-year-old Abdollah 
 Hosseinzadeh during a street brawl in the small town of Royan, in the  
northern province of Mazandaran. In a literal application of <i>qisas, </i>the
  sharia law of retribution, the victim's family were to participate in 
 Balal's punishment by pushing the chair on which he stood.<br />
<br />
<br />
But  what happened next marked a rarity in public executions in Iran, 
which  puts more people to death than any other country apart from 
China. The  victim's mother approached, slapped the convict in the face 
and then  decided to forgive her son's killer. The victim's father 
removed the  noose and Balal's life was spared.<br />
                     <img alt="" border="0" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/4/16/1397670869717/Balal-hanging-009.jpg" />                                              <br />

<br />
              Photographs taken by Arash Khamooshi,  of the 
semi-official Isna news agency, show what followed. Balal's  mother 
hugged the grieving mother of the man her son had killed. The two  women
 sobbed in each other's arms – one because she had lost her son,  the 
other because hers had been saved.<br />
<br />
<br />
The action by  Hosseinzadeh's mother was all the more extraordinary as 
it emerged that  this was not the first son she had lost. Her younger 
child Amirhossein  was killed in a motorbike accident at the age of 11.<br />
<br />
<br />
"My  18-year-old son Abdollah was taking a stroll in the bazaar with his
  friends when Balal shoved him," said the victim's father, Abdolghani  
Hosseinzadeh, according to Isna. "Abdollah was offended and kicked him  
but at this time the murderer took an ordinary kitchen knife out of his 
 socks."<br />
                     <img alt="" border="0" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/4/16/1397668632544/Iran-execution-009.jpg" />                                              <br />
Balal's mother, left and Hosseinzadeh's mother embrace after the 
execution was halted. Photograph: Arash Khamooshi/Isna             <br />
              Hosseinzadeh Sr has come to the conclusion that Balal did 
not kill  his son deliberately. "Balal was inexperienced and didn't know
 how to  handle a knife. He was naive."<br />
<br />
<br />
According to the father, Balal  escaped the scene of the stabbing but 
was later arrested by the police.  It took six years for a court to hand
 down a death sentence, and the  victim's family deferred the execution a
 number of times. An date for  execution was set just before the Persian
 new year, Nowruz, but the  victim's family did not approve of the 
timing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hosseinzadeh said a  dream prompted the change of heart. "Three days ago
 my wife saw my  elder son in a dream telling her that they are in a 
good place, and for  her not to retaliate … This calmed my wife and we 
decided to think more  until the day of the execution."<br />
<br />
<br />
Many Iranian public figures,  including the popular TV sport presenter 
Adel Ferdosipour, had called on  the couple, who have a daughter, to 
forgive the killer. Although they  did so, Balal will not necessarily be
 freed. Under Iranian law the  victim's family have a say only in the 
act of execution, not any jail  sentence.<br />

<br />
              In recent years Iran has faced criticism from human rights
 activists  for its high rate of executions. The UN secretary general, 
Ban Ki-moon, accused Hassan Rouhani of doing too little to improve 
Iran's human rights, especially reining in its staggering use of capital
 punishment.<br />
<br />
<br />
As  of last week, 199 executions are believed to have been carried out 
in  Iran this year, according to Amnesty, a rate of almost two a day. 
Last  year Iran and Iraq were responsible for two-thirds of the world's 
 executions, excluding China.<br />
<br />
<br />
At least 369 executions were  officially acknowledged by the Iranian 
authorities in 2013, but Amnesty  said hundreds more people were put to 
death in secret, taking the actual  number close to 700.<br />
<br />
<br />
Iran is particularly criticised for its  public executions, which have 
attracted children among the crowds in the  past. Iranian photographers 
are often allowed to document them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bahareh  Davis, of Amnesty International, welcomed the news that Balal 
had been  spared death. "It is of course welcome news that the family of
 the  victim have spared this young man's life," she said. "However, 
qisas  regulations in Iran mean that people who are sentenced to death 
under  this system of punishment are effectively prevented from seeking a
  pardon or commutation of their sentences from the authorities – 
contrary  to Iran's international obligations."<br />
<br />
<br />
She added: "It's deeply  disturbing that the death penalty continues to 
be seen as a solution to  crime in Iran. Not only is the death penalty 
the ultimate cruel, inhuman  and degrading punishment with no special 
deterrent impact, but public  displays of killing also perpetuate a 
culture of acceptance of violence.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Public  executions are degrading and incompatible with human dignity of
 those  executed. In addition, all those who watch public executions – 
which  regrettably often includes children – are brutalised by the 
experience."<br />
<br />
<br />
In October last year an Iranian prisoner who survived an attempted 
execution and was revived in the morgue was spared another attempt, 
though his family said he had lost mental stability and remained in 
jail.       </blockquote>
