64-year-old carpenter Paul George Nadar from Tamil Nadu in India, who has been on death row in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, for the past 23 years is seeking his own quick execution. Nadar was sentenced to be hanged by the Dubai Civil Court in July 1987 for killing nine family members of two Pakistanis, who had beaten him up following a fight. His family has paid blood money to the victims' families and he has made many unsuccessful appeals.
