Pakistan today executed four men linked to the Taliban massacre of 130 pupils at a school in December, with parents of victims saying they deserved 'no forgiveness' for their actions.
The executions, carried out by hanging at a prison in the city of Kohat, were the first in connection with the December 16 attack on an army-run school in the northwestern city of Peshawar.
Survivors of the assault, in which the majority of the more than 150 victims were children, said they were 'happy' to hear of the executions, with one father saying the hangings should have been carried out in public squares rather than behind prison doors.

A Kohat police official named the militants as Maulvi Abdus Salam, Hazrat Ali, Mujeebur Rehman and Sabeel, alias Yahya.
The army on Monday issued a so-called black warrant confirming the executions were imminent, but the role they played in the massacre has not been confirmed.
The gunmen who carried out the massacre were all reported killed by security forces during the attack.
