4 DATA AND METHODOLOGY JPP and Reprieve were able to compile this report after obtaining death row prisoner data from 38 prisons across Pakistan’s four provinces (Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Punjab and Sindh). The data is accurate up to December 2012. This is the first time that such comprehensive data on Pakistan’s death row population has been obtained, synthesised and analysed. It has allowed us a ground-breaking insight into the men, women, and sometimes even children, who comprise Pakistan’s death row. In addition to this, we were recently able to obtain further data on the death row population of the province of Sindh. Dated October 2014, the data provides a very clear insight into the current composition of Sindh’s death row and has allowed us to analyse developments in the use of terrorism legislation in the province over the last two years. It should be noted that the total figure of 6,872 death-sentenced prisoners 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 individuals. 1
