China has executed a Pakistani man, Zahid Husain Shah, despite last-ditch appeals for clemency, his family says. Shah, 35, was arrested in 2008 and was convicted last year of drug smuggling. He was put to death by lethal injection in Shanghai on Wednesday morning. Relatives were allowed one last meeting with Shah at Shanghai Detention Centre on Wednesday morning. His cousin, Tasneem Fatima, told the BBC the family expects to travel back to Pakistan later this week, once his body has been returned to them. The last thing he told her was that he was innocent, she said. Four other Pakistanis arrested with Shah were sentenced to life imprisonment. According to Shahs relatives, he was framed for a crime he did not commit.
