Female Members Of The National Assembly Of Pakistan Demand Public Hanging Of Rapists

written by Saqib
Female members of the ruling and opposition benches of the National Assembly joined hands and unanimously demanded the public hanging of rapists in Pakistan. This would give a clear message of no mercy to all the monsters in the society. 

All female members from Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI), Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) came on the same page and demanded for a parliamentary committee to be formed to review the drastically increasing numbers of rape cases. Syeda Nosheen Iftikhar from PML-N announced that,

“We 69 women MNAs demand quick judgement in rape cases and public hanging of rapists,”

MNA’s also demanded that the the trials should not be prolonged and rape and harassment cases must be resolved on priority. Another male member of the assembly, Maulana Akbar Chitrali supported the demands of the women MNA’s and commented that

“When we raise the issue of Islamic punishments we are criticised that these punishments are being demanded in this modern age,”

Dr. Shireen Mazari, Federal Minister for Human Rights, added that although the government has passed a law to protect women, the law alone is not a solution to the problem, and there is a need to change the mindset of the society. 

Earlier this year, the Federal Government of Pakistan had approved the law for public hanging of the people convicted of sexual crimes and murder of children. The resolution was presented by the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affair, Ali Muhammad Khan, which was passed by a majority. However, Dr. Shireen Mazari and Fawad Chaudhary had opposed the resolution at that time. 

The law had also faced a backlash from Amnesty International as Mr. Omar Waraich (Deputy Director South Asia) commented on the law as:

“The sexual abuse and murder of children are among the most horrific crimes, but the death penalty is not a solution. Public hangings are acts of unconscionable cruelty and have no place in a rights-respecting society. 

The authorities must focus their energies on giving children in Pakistan the protection they desperately need through strong safeguarding policies and procedures before abuse happens, enforcing laws against sexual abuse, and holding the perpetrators of abuse against them to account through fair trials without recourse to the death penalty.

Executions, whether public or private, do not deliver justice. They are acts of vengeance and there is no evidence that they serve as a uniquely effective deterrent. If human life holds the highest value, then taking it away is the lowest act. The state should not perpetuate the cycle of violence by putting people to death.”

Sabeeka Imam Finds Sadaf Kanwal’s Views On Feminism “Epic “

by Saqib
written by Saqib
In a recent interview, Sadaf Kanwal made some comments on ‘feminism’ and it has ignited a controversy on the internet.

While giving an interview to ARY News program, Sadaf mentioned that a woman is not weak, and she linked the recently developed definition of feminism to the so called ‘liberals’. She also mentioned that it is a part of our cultural values, that a woman has to look after her husband, iron his shirts, take care of his shoes and his food and other belongings as well. She said that she believes in this culture as she has seen the same during her upbringing.  

Soon after the interview was on air, Sadaf’s narrative on this sensitive topic started a controversy. Model turned actress, Sabeeka Imam seemed dejected with Sadaf’s views and passed comments “When you don’t know the definition of feminism, start rambling about ironing your husband’s clothes, EPIC!”

Sabeeka took the matter to twitter to further explain her thoughts. She claimed that the word ‘feminism’ seems to upset the majority of the people, due to misleading ideologies, But they should understand that women are humans too, and these voices raised under the slogan of ‘feminism’ are to highlight the issues being faced by women on a daily basis. She continued that people should treat women as their own mother and sister, and should give equal respect to them as they give to their own ones. She claimed that women are still not given due justice and we all should come on the same page on this matter.  

She negated the narrative of Sadaf Kanwal while sarcastically addressing her as ‘Mrs. Sabzwari” and said that, there are different ways to show love or respect to your husband, and ironing his clothes and handling his shoes and socks might be one. But it is surely not the sole responsibility of the wife to take care of these things as her duty. 

Sabeeka continued to show her resentment over the controversial interview, and raised her voice on this question being asked on the show by the host Fizza Shoaib.The model said that ‘feminism’ is a very sensitive topic and the question related to topics like these should be avoided by the hosts.  

The controversy has divided the internet as there are women at both the ends of the pole. Both the narratives are coming from a strong school of thought, and neither of the parties are in mood to step back from their statements.

Are ‘Flaws In Our Laws’ in Pakistan Promoting The Culture Of Harassment And Rape?

by Saqib
written by Saqib
There is often news of a women being harassed, raped or murdered in Pakistan.  These crimes have now escalated to a level where women are not the only victims, young boys and children are now also part of the evil game. 

PM Imran Khan has spoken to HBO in an interview about the rising sex crimes in Pakistan. He mentions that the top most crime in Pakistan was of a sexual nature and the majority of these cases were of child abuse with only” 1% of them being reported. ”

The question that arises is why is this absurd culture of rape and murder getting so common ? 

If it is for the lust inside men, only young women would have been the target, but the stats show that it is not about the lust for women, it is about the evil mind set which enjoys by torturing, manipulating and ruling on people by playing God. It is the feeling of being above the law and to use other humans (women and kids) as objects to rule over them.

Apparently, this culture has developed and promoted over time because the law has either protected the accused somehow or not carried out an exemplary punishment.

It has been observed that majority of the accused were either rich spoiled kids or backed and powered by the feudal and political backgrounds. The cases took limelight for a while and chants for justice echoed, but no exemplary punishments were given to circulate a clear message of ‘No Mercy’ over this inhumane behavior. 

The law is often misused and facts are twisted to turn the tables on the accused. And they get away even stronger and energized to kill a few more innocents, as they already know at the back of their mind that the law is not as strong as their connections. And they will remain unharmed irrespective of what they do. 

The disciplines written in the books of law will be of no use, until they are read, understood, and used practically and wisely by the ones in charge, to punish the convicts and make examples. These examples will mark and sustain the rule of law and masses will have a clear message that there is no getting away anymore. 

Just in recent times, there are numerous cases, but the voice raised against it fades away after a while. These protests, blogs, demonstrations are indeed important, but it is more important that law must take strong action, and no connections and affiliations should be above it.

The law is often misused and facts are twisted to turn the tables on the accused. And they get away even stronger and energized to kill a few more innocents, as they already know at the back of their mind that the law is not as strong as their connections. And they will remain unharmed irrespective of what they do.

Shah Hussain, who was convicted and sent to prison for 5 years in 2018 for stabbing Khadija Siddiqui, a law student  23 times for merely refused his marriage proposal. The case was pleaded by Khadija Siddiqui herself after her recovery.

Hussain was charged with multiple section of Pakistan Penal Code including 324 (attempt to murder), along with 337A(i), (ii), 337F(i),  (ii) and (iv), and was sent to prison for 5 years. However, he got released after 3.5 years on 17 July on technical grounds. As per records, he could secure remission on basis of performing labor in prison, good conduct, blood donations and educational remission available on graduation.

Now the questions arises that, just a punishment of 3.5 years is enough for a psychopath who attempted to murder a girl brutally by stabbing her 23 times?
The convicted criminal, Hussain availed “technical remissions” which are given for blood donations and good conduct as per the law and the Constitution according to  Punjab Prisons Minister Fayyazul Hassan Chohan who revealed this in a video statement released recently.

 

Zarrar Khuhro, a prominent journalist  mentions that the majority of recent crimes have been crimes against women and are gender based crimes. On the programme ” ZaraHatKay “, Khadija Siddiqui talks about how women feel when a convicted criminal by the Supreme Court is released and how the timing was horrifying in the light if the Noor Mukaddam case.

” When will the state wake up to this ? “

Now that he has been set free, who is responsible for the security of Khadija Siddiqui if Hussain tries to harass her again?

The disciplines written in the books of law will be of no use, until they are read, understood, and used practically and wisely by the ones in charge, to punish the convicts and make examples. These examples will mark and sustain the rule of law and masses will have a clear message that there is no getting away anymore.

written by Saqib

The parents of Zahir Jaffer, Asmat and Zakir Jaffer have issued a public notice to show their support to the bereaved family on the barbaric murder of Noor Mukadam by their son ‘Zahir Jaffer’. The notice appeared in a leading newspaper today.

 

The notice states that they are “devastated and grief-stricken at the brutal murder of Noor Mukaddam” however there is no mention of the name of their son in this statement. They mention that

‘as parents we cannot begin to imagine the pain that her family is going through ” and have conveyed their condolences to the bereaved family and prayed for the departed soul.

While the investigation is under process, many shocking details have been found about the abominable incident that took life of 27 year old Noor Mukadam. Zahir and Noor were in regular contact since Zahir flew back from United States back in December 2019. Since then, he never went back and stayed in Pakistan. During the period of last three months, Zahir tried to reach Noor 68 times while it was intercepted that Noor also tried to reach him 47 times.

According to reports by GEO News, the killer was in constant touch with his family members during 2 pm and 7 pm on July 20th which is when the murder took place.

Before the incident took place on 20th July, Noor and Zahir connected on 18th July after a break of few weeks. Soon after they connected over phone, Noor left her house to meet Zahir. Some reports mentioned that she tried to contact her driver and asked her to arrange seven lacs from anywhere possible, and deliver it to Zahir’s house. The driver could only manage three lacs and handed over the money to Zahir’s servant. ( not yet verified)

Noor’s family was quite concerned by her absence, and they tried to contact her numerous times between 19 and 20 July, to which she could only respond that she is travelling to Lahore on. This was the last message by Noor to her mother on 20th July at 10:56 am after which Zahir took her phone away and started torturing her. From around 11 am till 7:30 pm, Zahir kept torturing Noor. She even tried to escape but she was brutally beaten and dragged back again in the house. The domestic staff of the house also witnessed the whole process which ended when Zahir finally beheaded her. 

Zahir’s family was also in contact with him during this time. The family initially tried to play the US Citizen card but the US embassy kept safe distance from the case and issued a statement “In a foreign country, US citizens are subject to that country’s laws. When Americans are arrested abroad, the Embassy can check on their well-being and provide a list of lawyers, but cannot provide legal advice, participate in court proceedings or effect their release.
