Timeline
The adulation that Qadri received following his execution was compared to that given to Ilm-ud-din, who murdered a book publisher in 1929.
However, the execution decision was supported by many Islamic scholars, including Mohammad Khan Sherani, chairman of the Council of Islamic Ideology, who said, "Mumtaz Qadri’s act, though driven by religious sentiments, was illegal because he had taken the law into his own hands and he faced punishment because no one is above the law."
Qadri's supporters also claimed that he was hanged on 29 February, a date which only comes every four years, in order to deny his anniversary.
Qadri was born in 1985 in Rawalpindi, Punjab.
He was a son of a vegetable seller in Muslim Town, Rawalpindi.
Qadri joined the Punjab Police in 2002 and was promoted to the Elite Police in 2007.
In 2009 he got married and had one son.
In 2010, he joined the squad of the security guards of former Governor of Punjab, Salmaan Taseer.
A follower of the Barelvi version of Sunni Islam, he assassinated Taseer on 4 January 2011.
He claimed to have killed the Governor because Taseer spoke in defense of Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to death.
On the evening of 4 January 2011, Governor Taseer was at Kohsar Market in Islamabad.
Qadri, who was there in the capacity of Taseer's bodyguard, shot Taseer 28 times and killed him.
He surrendered immediately after the shooting and was arrested.
According to Qadri, he killed the governor for his support of Asia Bibi, who was sentenced to death for allegedly insulting the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and for speaking against the blasphemy law in Pakistan.
From the day he was arrested, he was held in custody on a five-day remand.
He appeared in court on 9 January 2011 and confessed that he had killed Salman Taseer because of his speaking against the blasphemy law.
During his appearance in court over 300 lawyers offered to represent him pro bono.
On 10 January 2011, he was sent to Adiala Jail on a 14 day judicial remand.
Because of the security issues, his trial was held in Adiala Jail; it began on 14 January 2011.
He was charged with the murder of the Governor of the Punjab.
On 10 October 2011, the court found him guilty and condemned him to death.
He filed an appeal in Islamabad High Court on 6 October 2011 against his death sentence, and the appeal was admitted on 11 October 2011.
Justice Dost Mohammad made clear his view that the accused, a uniformed officer, was not entitled to take the law into his own hands and murder a man who was under his protection.
His appeal was rejected in October 2015, with the Supreme Court calling him a terrorist.
Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri (1985 – 29 February 2016), better known as Mumtaz Qadri, was a terrorist who murdered Salmaan Taseer, Governor of Punjab.
