Mukhtaran Bibi Banned from Leaving Pakistan
2005-07-04
This Woman deserves a Nobel Peace Prize much more than man;y of those who've won it. If the Feminists were worth anything, they would be taking up her cause.
They're not worth anything, and they won't. But I think this might be based on old data. The pressure came from the State Department...
Mukhtaran was 31 years old when she was abducted and gang-raped by 4 men of a village tribe in June 2002. One of the men was the chief of the tribe. Her family did not complain fearing their lives. However Mukhtaran herself insisted on taking the gang to court.... Since 2002, Mukhtaran has been advocating human and women’s rights in Pakistan and is now a well known figure supported by many nationally and internationally.

Mukhtaran was supposed to travel to the USA this month to talk about her experiences... According to latest news she is being held in a secret location and her lawyer has not been allowed to visit her.

#2  It's an old article, she was released by the Pakistani authorities, the latest is that they won't let her go to America unless she is accompanied by Pak 'minders', but she is refusing to go unless she can go alone.

#1  What the hell is going in in wakistan? First they take her passport, then they give it back, now she's being detained. Where the hell is Amnesty Int.?????
Since this doesn't have any anti-american flavour to it you won't hear a word out of them.
