"Aap jab 14 saal kay thay tou aap kesay hotay thay? [What were you like at the age of 14?]"

"What I was like when I was 14? I was... really young."

"Very insecure... "

"Super, super, introverted... "

"I fell in love for the first time – or at least I thought I thought I did... "

So begins a video that civil rights group 'Never Forget Pakistan' has launched to drum up support for saving Shafqat Hussain from the gallows.

Shafqat was said to be 14 when he was convicted of kidnapping and killing a seven-year-old boy in Karachi.

He is now 23 and scheduled to be hanged tomorrow, March 19, as per an Anti-Terrorism Court's orders.

The video brings together several civil rights activists including Jibran Nasir to humanise Shafqat Hussain's story and bring perspective to his case. One of the people responding to the question says:

"I don't think I ever gave any thought to what is right and wrong at the age of 14."

The video ends with Jibran Nasir calling the the trial of Shafqat a "trial of Pakistan's justice system".

An online petition for staying Shafqat Hussain's execution has crossed its goal of 6,000 letters today.

Civil society members in Karachi plan to gather at Teen Talwaar, Clifton to protest for halting the execution as well.

'I beg for a new life for my son'

Shafqat Hussain's 65-year-old mother, Makhani Begum, has filed a mercy plea with the President.

"I beg for a new life for my son," she said. "I have not seen him for the past 11 years."

Shafqat Hussain’s current lawyers claim that he did not receive a fair trial at the time. The state-appointed lawyer failed to introduce a single piece of evidence or call a single witness in his defence and never raised the fact he was a juvenile at the time of the alleged offence.

International rights groups like Reprieve and Amnesty International along with the European Union are pressuring the government for a stay on the execution as well.

Political scion Fatima Bhutto, who lost her grandfather to the gallows during a military dictatorship, wrote a piece on Shafqat's support in the New York Times, citing how Pakistan has got it all wrong.

'No proof of age'

Pakistan's Interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Tuesday said the Sindh government had turned down his proposal to conduct a DNA test of condemned prisoner Shafqat Hussain to determine his age.

“When he was sent to jail in Karachi, as per the available record, the jail doctor had determined his age as 25 years and the jail authorities as 23 years. All these things are on record,” said Chaudhry Nisar.

Shafqat's mother said the police had noted his age as 23 years old and since he had no ID documents, neither the court nor his defense lawyer ever challenged that.

“Shafqat, too scared and suffering from a learning disability, did not find it in himself to disagree with anything that the police had told him to say, for fear of being tortured again,” she said.

Pakistan has executed 48 convicts since the moratorium on the death penalty was lifted following the horrific terrorist attacks on the Army Public School in Peshawar last year.
