12 PART II PAKISTAN’S DEATH ROW - IN FIGURES JPP and Reprieve have obtained data, dating up to December 2012, on the prisoners held on death row in Pakistan’s four provinces: Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (‘KPK’), Punjab and Sindh. 10 Together, these regions comprise approximately 94% of Pakistan’s population. This is the first time that such comprehensive data on Pakistan’s death row population has been obtained and analysed. It has allowed JPP and Reprieve a ground-breaking insight into the men, women, and sometimes even children, who comprise Pakistan’s death row. It should be noted that the figure of 6,872 represents those prisoners for whom we were able to obtain individual data. We believe that the total number of prisoners on death row in the country is even higher, and is likely in excess of 8,000. 11 FIGURE 1: NUMBER OF PRISONERS ON DEATH ROW IN PAKISTAN The table below shows the total number of prisoners (i.e. both those tried as terrorists and those tried in ordinary courts) on death row in Pakistan.
