| Police medical report confirms Dr Shazia's rape | |
| 2005-01-29 | |
| A police surgeon in Karachi has confirmed in her medical report that Dr Shazia Khalid was raped, according to the BBC Urdu Service. The police surgeon has written to the Sindh health secretary that Dr Khalid was raped at a hospital in Sui, according to BBC. The medical report identified eight wounds to Dr Shazia's body. Nasirabad district police chief Ghulam Muhammad Dogar brought the lady doctor to Civil Hospital, Karachi, saying she was sexually abused on January 13. Medical Officer Rohina Hassan admitted Dr Shazia to the hospital and examined her, according to BBC. Online adds: Three senior Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) officials have been arrested in Sibi in connection with the gang rape of Dr Shazia, police said on Friday. Naseerabad Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ghulam Mehmood said the three officials — a Sui gas field manager, a chief medical officer and his deputy — were apprehended and presented before the Sibi sessions court on Friday morning for confirmation of interim bail. However, they were denied bail and arrested, he added. The three accused were named in the FIR registered by the female doctor, the DSP added. He said further investigations were being made. He also said the female doctor was currently in Karachi and under the government's protection.

| #6 I wouldn't swear that the girls weren't killed later by their families (like it would hgave happenned in Turkey) but they were girls not boys and in an unrelated case I can certify first hand that when they heard about a girl having beeen sentenced to be raped by a tribal tribunal in some part of Pakistan the reaction in a Pahstun internet forum was of uninamous repulsion: there were Afghans and Pakistani pashtuns, some were pro-taliban, some were for Pashtun law (those who say: we need no stinking sharia: this is Arab) and some were pro-democracy. Everyone was appalled and I doubt anyone of them would have spared the perpetrators lives. |

| #5 The story is that Mullah Omar hanged a local warlord who had raped some boys, not girls. If the warlord had raped some girls, then Mullah Omar would have hanged the girls, not the warlord. Such is the will of Allan, as revealed to Muhammad (PBUH) by the Angel Gabriel. . |

| #4 Afaik the Pashtun thing to involves killing the raper. The beginning of the carreer of Mullah Omar involved rescuing two girls who had been kidnapped by a local warlord, hanging the bastard and bringing the girls to their families. In most other parts of Muslim world they don't seem to have similar commitment to punishing rapers, only for killing the raped girls. |

| #1 To be fair, the lady doctor and the tribe that threatened to murder her are ethnic Sindhis. Moderate religous wise, unfortunately they are just as afflicted by tribalism and feudalism. |
