An Indian national on death row in Pakistan who was attacked last week by fellow inmates has died from his injuries, reports said early Thursday. Sarabjit Singh, who was sentenced to death 16 years ago on espionage charges, was rushed to hospital on Friday with multiple wounds, including a severe head injury, after an argument in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail. Officials at the Lahore hospital where Singh, 49, was being treated said he died at 1:00 am local time (2000 GMT), the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.

India's Supreme Court Monday delayed the execution of four death-row convicts until it hears an appeal later in the week as rights groups voiced growing concern over recent hangings in the country. The Supreme Court said it would hear a plea on Wednesday from the four accomplices of slain "bandit king" Veerappan, who were sentenced to death in 2004 for their role in a landmine blast in southern India that killed 22 policemen. "In the meantime the execution of the death sentence of the four convicts shall remain stayed," the Supreme Court said.

Amnesty International on Saturday condemned India's execution of a Kashmiri separatist over a deadly 2001 attack on parliament, saying his trial fell "considerably short" of international fair standards. Mohammed Afzal Guru's execution also suggested a "disturbing" trend towards the resumption of death penalty use in India, said the global human rights group. "We condemn the execution in the strongest possible terms," said Shashikumar Velath, programmes director of Amnesty's India wing.
