Mohammad Ameen was sentenced to death in 2001 by a court in the city of Rawalpindi on 31 January 2001 after being found guilty of involvement in a robbery and killing in February 1998. He was reportedly 16 years old at the time of the offence. Pakistan is bound by national and international law forbidding the execution of those who were under the age of 18 at the time their alleged crime was committed.
