A Pakistani court has upheld the death sentences of two men convicted of gang-raping a French tourist in front of her three children after her car ran out of fuel on a motorway near Lahore.
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday dismissed appeals filed by Abid Ali and Shafqat Ali.
The two men had challenged a 2021 anti-terrorism court verdict that found them guilty of gang rape, kidnapping, robbery and terrorism-related offences.
The decision means the death penalty handed down by the trial court will remain in place.
