Islamabad: Three Baloch insurgents, who hijacked a PIA plane in 1998 and tried to take it to India, were among eight prisoners who were executed today in different jails in Pakistan.

The convicts, Shahsawar Baloch, Sabir Rind were executed in Hyderabad jail while Shabbir Rind was hanged in Karachi Central Jail. A court in Hyderabad sentenced them to death on August 20, 1998 and their appeals were later turned by the higher courts.

The three men were members of the left-wing Baloch Students’ Organisation (BSO) and were demanding more resources, such as gas and electricity, for their region.
