Re: Barbaric killing of teenager unfolds
^ I was thinking the other day about the same thing. However, many such isolated cases, which are exceptionally tragic and few in number surface, and due to the magnitude of the tragedy they sometimes make it to notice of the highest office. I think its a good thing, because they will also try to find out why justice wasnt provided by the lower ups, esp. the police.
I remember Zainub bibi, who was tortured severely by her husband (a dhari walla religious guy). The brutal man used to violate his wife using a 'water heating rod', and eventually the news went to Benazir who was the PM at that time, and many people were fired because they ignored the whole thing by saying it was a 'miyaan biwi ka maamla'. Zainab was later sent abroad for emergency treatment by the PM herself. I dont think she would have gotten such justice and retribution through the local courts.
