Parents seek trial of child rapists in terrorism court
I posted the Daily Times article on this last night, along with a picture of one of the victims.
I know a couple of Chicago police detectives who could solve this problem.
The sobbing parents of two Pakistani girls, one only two-years-old, appealed yesterday for the men accused of raping their daughters to be tried by an anti-terrorism court and slammed the government for neglecting the case. Manir Masih, the father of the two-year-old and Parveen Barkat, mother of the seven-year-old victim, faced a press conference in Islamabad to recount the attacks on their daughters and the threats their families received from the men they accused of rape.

Masih said his daughter was raped on April 6 near their home in the rural Punjab town of Gujranwala. He discovered her lying covered in blood and saw a man, identified as Hussein, fleeing from the scene. “When I saw her covered in blood, I lost my mind,” he told reporters. Doctors have said the toddler must undergo six separate surgical operations to repair severe genital and bowel injuries, Christian rights activist Shahbaz Bhatti told the press conference. Hussein’s family was now threatening to kill Masih and his relatives unless they drop charges. “If the beast is not tried in a terrorism court and given due punishment, I along with my four children and wife will immolate ourselves in front of parliament,” Masih said. Parveen Barkat said her seven-year-old daughter was raped on May 29 in eastern city of Lahore. The family of the accused man was pressuring her husband to withdraw charges. “My young child has been raped, my husband is sick and confined to bed for the last six years, I do not know what to do,” Barkat told AFP.

Bhatti said the government had “done nothing” about the rape of the infant girls. “We raised this issue in the Punjab assembly but government as usual gave deaf ear, neglected and ignored these brutal incidents of rape of two minor Christian girls” Bhatti said. He said 46 Christian girls were raped in 2003 but have not received justice yet. Bhatti asked Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf to declare the rape of the two girls an act of terrorism.
