Who in Pakistan has the courage to expose the menace of social evil and abuse committed against children in madrassas?
ROTTERDAM: Instead of just highlighting the case of the British doctor of death, Dr Shipman, Talat Hussain (September 1) must also put the spotlight on the worst child molester and abuser in the history of Pakistan, Javed Iqbal (who claimed to have killed and molested more than 100 children). This savage barbarian later allegedly committed suicide in his cell in a Lahore police station during the late 1990s (or was killed by the torture of the Punjab Police).
Yes, there is the case of the case of Joseph Fritzl (who locked his daughter in a cell for more than 20 years, abused her and had children from her) that rocked Austria in 2007. At least the western media is bringing these issues to the public, including the explosive issue of misconduct and child abuse committed by the catholic priest. Who in Pakistan has the courage to expose the menace of social evil and abuse committed against children in madrassas?
