What medical report will do good as they still need four Adult Muslim witnesses to prove whether these four sisters were raped or not. May God bless the land of pure.
Just sickening. This wont stop till rapists are hung publicly and promptly. That wont happen while a certain section of the populace blames the victims and another section (read mullahs) refutes the use of medical evidence citing the 4 witness theory. And most of all, it wont happen while an inept government refuses to take any notice.
The permutations and combinations of 4 sisters, 7 rapists and repeated rapes is simply mind boggling.
Such heinous crimes will continue until or unless rapists are hung publicly.Of course that is too much to ask from present govt.
Had this been in KP the thread would have been loaded with comments such as PTI fail. Imran Khan tis and that, Naya Pakistan kahaan gaya. But no I wont blame the Punjab Govt just yet as long as they push on to make sure that the culprits are arrested and punished.
