Paedophiles throw acid on two children
MULTAN: Two servants of a feudal lord threw acid on a 14-year-old girl and her 12-year-old younger brother after the youngsters rejected their sexual advances. Police refused to register a case against the men initially.

Fauzia and Kashif were washing their clothes near a tube well owned by a local feudal, when two of his servants, Muhammad Aslam and Muhammad Nawaz, approached them and made suggestive remarks. The children berated the men, who retaliated by throwing acid on them. The children, along with their counsel Munir Ahmed Ghauri, went to Civil Judge and Local Magistrate Shaukat Javed's court and asked for justice. Judge Javed told Vehari district health officer to give immediate medical assistance to the victims and ordered the police to register a case. Ghauri told the court that the police had refused to register their complaint and the medical officer had refused to issue them a medico-legal certificate without the police document.
This sort of story isn't associated with religion, not even the most depraved variants of Islam. It's associated with culture, and it's a culture that's vile to its core. There are pedophiles everywhere — God knows there are enough of them in this country. One of them buried that little girl alive in Florida. But the tossing of acid when one doesn't get one's sexual way seems to be peculiarly South Asian. The fact that the cops are in thrall to the local feudal lord is disgusting. Even in the most corrupt countries, they'll at least go through the motions. But not in Pakland.
Guess it wouldn't be proper to throw the acid on the pedophiles, would it.
