Pakistan Police Ignore Moslemsâ Gang Rape of Christian Girl
From the Pakistan Christian PostThe gang rape incident of a Christian girl, in Narowal goes on to show the Policeâs laxity or more appropriately, their leniency letting go of alleged criminals. A young girl Student of Saint Paul High School in Narowal was picked up by Six men and allegedly gang âraped for three days. Proof of the local Policeâs complicity in defending the dignity of the accused rather than the victim was evident in the pressure tactics being used against the girl family. They initially refused to file an FIR and continued to force the Christians girlâs family to negotiate with the pre-petrators, who happened to be locally influential. The six men involved in the gang rape got bail before arrest, forcing the aggrieved family to stage a sit-in, in early May, in front of parliament in Islamabad. ... Perhaps emboldened by the Meerwala acquittal, Police inaction, in Afsheenâs case and aware of the many legal lacunae surrounding a rape charge the Kabirwala and the Narowal accused have not been effectively, deterred.
