12-year-old rape victim's mother succumbs to her wounds
66
GHOTKI: A woman — who sustained burn injuries last month while trying to protect her daughter from being burnt alive — succumbed to her injures on Monday night at Karachi's Civil Hospital.
The woman's 12-year-old daughter was raped and burned alive in Ghotki's Daharki district last month.
The victim's relative Ali Hassan Solangi confirmed that the woman died last night. He said doctors at Civil Hospital had asked him to take her back home as her chances of survival were very low.
Solangi expressed dissatisfaction over the victim's treatment at the hospital, and alleged that doctors did not provide proper care.
Speaking to media representatives, Chief of the Solangi community Shabir Ahmed Solangi said that a protest will be held with the woman's body to exert pressure on law enforcement personnel to arrest the culprits.
After regaining consciousness, the woman had recorded a statement last month before Daharki's magistrate Attaullah under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, alleging that she too was raped.
The police failed to arrested the culprits Noor Hassan, Gul Hassan and Hashim Mochi despite the fact that a First Information Report (FIR) was lodged against them last month.

The victim and her mother stitched and sold sheets for a living and were pursued by the men under the pretense of wanting to purchase their products. The girl was drugged after being offered tea and was allegedly set on fire by the three men after being raped, the victim's 40-year-old mother had previously told DawnNews after regaining consciousness.
The Ghotki sessions court had ordered the police to lodge an FIR over the incident.
Following the order, FIR No. 7/2015 was registered at Khenju police station against three accused persons under Sections 302, 324, 376, 511 and 437 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).

Request to the law enforcement agency: Pls use every resource at your disposal to catch those culprits as soon as possible. The sorrow, the pain we feel increases with every moment passing. Pls give exemplary punishment to them so that no human on earth ever dare to commit a crime causing grief of this magnitude. Please...

We should hold every policemen, politician, and medical staff accountable that serve Ghotki area. Unless we punish the culprits on the top, the bottom will continue to get away with crime. This is the reason why our society is getting worse by the day.

@Nadeem you pti followers never give up an opportunity to point a finger. A lot of things in this society are a failure of our leaders. But this is a failure of us as a nation. A failure of our humanity. A failure of our beliefs. We think that we are somehow the protectors of Islam and under that umbrella commit all manner of heinous crimes. Most of the people in this society that are corrupt and commit crimes probably pray 5 times a day. We justify our crimes by our offsetting piety. We should realize that Islam is about being a better human being. Not about reading a holy book and praying five timed a day only. Until we realize that we are doomed to fail as a nation.

Such news comes as a shock, because we do not realize the extent of corrupt morality, that we have fallen. Rape is common, and some of the reasons, are: 1. Very little reporting, 2. The victim is castigated. 3. Anyone who has the opportunity, does it, be it a religious place, law enforcer, or the victorious. 4. Upper class

If our police is able to catch the culprits, if police prosecute them successfully, and if the courts hand the culprits the death sentence (and I sincerely hope that this happens) THEN the so called human rights organizations will fight with their tooth and nail to prevent the culprits from being hanged.

Now, we need to see law enforcement authorities work - how soon they arrest persons mentioned in FIR? We Pakistani talk big when it comes to Islam and human rights but when the time comes to act are spineless. All lives are precious. The people of Ghotki should demand justice from the local first then from them prime minister. When these low life people will be reformed? No wonder, why Allaha does not like us. People stay with the victim - Allaha like those who speak the truth and side with the weak .

I am Indian and when I read the comments of our Pakistani neighbors after the Delhi incidence I for some time was convinced that the Indian goverment was right in banning the documentory on it. But then may be the Europeans are right in mocking us we are after all subhuman. I have worked with Pakistanis and for better or worse there is little difference between us.
