Re: Justice for Shahzaib Khan
The fact he initially got away is totally irrelevant. The fact is when the ‘system’ got activated, even Zardari couldn’t pardon the murderer nor his sister could get the Talpur goons released. You can bash the overall system as much as you like but there’s no denying that system was certainly working in the favour of this particular case. That’s all we need at the end of the day - the system to start working, make a start somewhere with someone.
I’d say you said exactly what I was trying to say, on what basis people are supporting this completely made up and thoroughly disgusting diyat deal? If this guy can get away with murdering a high profile rich kid who had politicians and elites fighting for this case, what hope do his future victims have? Who will stand up if that bstard decides to rape a poor man’s daughter in broad day light or if he throws acid on a woman’s face or shoots a bystander just for sadist pleasure?
Shahzaib’s case was and still is an epic golden opportunity to set a much needed precedent for justice and equality. I just hope that the civil society doesn’t lose hope and keep the momentum going. The world famous British and American judicial system have been through worse phases.
PS: It’s unfair to compare Criminal law with Civil.
