| Man commits suicide after incest conviction | |
| 2004-02-26 | |
A 60-year-old man shot and killed himself on Wednesday after a court sentenced him to eight years in prison for raping his daughter. The Airport Police Station had earlier booked Muhammad Bashir on charges of raping his daughter, Sajida Parveen. The Rawalpindi district and sessions judge had exonerated Mr Bashir, but his daughter filed an appeal in the Federal Shariat Court against the decision. A Federal Shariat Court division bench accepted Ms Parveen’s application and sentenced Mr Bashir to eight years’ rigorous imprisonment. After the verdict was announced, Mr Bashir asked the court to allow him to go to the bathroom, where he shot and killed himself.

| #10 whitecollar redneck> I got the sarcasm, but I thought it was a clear stab at gay marriages -- I may have been wrong, in which case I apologize. |

| #8 It was a bitter post from Mr. Guy, I believe he has strong feelings on this subject. |

| #5 That was pretty brave of the daughter to come out with that. A lot of hardliners are probably blaming her in some way for the incident. |

| #3 Did they loan him a pistol with one bullet, or did he have a gun in his pants? Doesn't sound like a real secure court. |

| #2 Your right about no great loss. Perverts like that should be castrated and put into prison on bread and water. M Bashir was probably more concerned about life in prison rather than remorseful so he was a coward as well as a sick pervert. |
