Pakistani soldier sentenced to death for shooting unarmed Sarfraz Shah...

A Pakistani soldier has been sentenced to death and five others given life sentences after an unarmed man was shot dead in an incident broadcast widely on TV,

Sarfraz Shah, 18, pleaded for mercy before being shot by a group of Pakistani Rangers on June 8.

The unnamed soldiers were convicted of murder by an anti-terrorism court along with a civilian who was also given a life sentence for the incident.

The verdicts appear to be a relatively rare instance of Pakistani security forces being held publicly accountable in a case of troop brutality.

In the video, a plain-clothed man wrestled a gun out of Shah's hand and dragged him by the hair over to a group of paramilitary rangers in Karachi, Pakistan

The victim, who allegedly robbed someone, is heard saying it was just a toy gun as he pleaded with a Ranger who pointed his rifle at his neck. More + photos...
