I am in favour of public hanging of this monster, there is nothing more than humanity that is important but when a child is tortured and killed, set an example for other men! #JusticeForZainab

Had it not been for an international outrage and everyone shouting at once, no murderer would have been caught by incompetent government and officers of ours! #JusticeForZainab

MSS | 6 years ago | Reply It is imperative that the accused is not tried by media or courts do not feel pressured by political entities. Only the real culprit should be convicted based on forensic evidence and not based on confessions obtained by police after severe torture. Hanging, public or in jail is not the answer. Mass education, open discussion of this taboo subject and parental awareness will reduce such incidents. This issue must not be allowed to disappear from public discourse once this case is over. People should keep politicians and the police under constant pressure and also take their own child care responsibilities very seriously. You cannot simply dump all ills of society on the doors of police, schools or individuals. Children must be protected at all costs.

hamza khan | 6 years ago | Reply @SunTest: agree, he is deserving of a trial and speedy justice. a public hanging will NOT solve the issue, which is weak policing. our nation should not devolve into this sort of uncivilized mockery of justice. if he is to be served capital punishment, it should be done privately where only those near him who wish to see his last moments can visit. the rest of the country should not see this, it does not fall under any civilized norms or our religious precepts.
