| Pakistani woman stoned to death for dancing |
| 2002-12-14 |
| The shocking report from Larkana of a girl being stoned to death for daring to dance at a marriage ceremony is shocking. The shameful episode happened earlier this week before dozens of villagers. The girl's uncle fired at her after seeing her dance at the ceremony. She tried to escape but was followed by several men who then beat her with sticks. The poor girl's nightmare did not end there: she was then taken to her village where her hands were chopped off and she was then stoned to death. Her body has not been found: it is said that it was either thrown into a canal or a well. The brutality of this terrible act is too much to describe in words. The barbarism leading to such gruesome acts is a grim reminder of the fact that parts of Pakistan continue to be ruled by primitive customs and emotions. A lethal mix of feudalism, tribalism and ignorance, creates an atmosphere that leads to savage acts. The suspension of the SHO concerned is welcome, but the gruesome incident must be followed through, and the men responsible for it tried for their crime. |

| #2 One good thing. The article in DAWN calls for these pieces of maggot shit to be tried and punished. A lot of the rags over there would be starting up a defense fund. One bad thing. Expect the offices of DAWN to be burnt to the ground for publishing such blasphemy. No word on whether these are devotees of the Religon of Peace but...any bets? |
