Pakistani, Indian celebrities come together for #JusticeforAsifa

Armeena Rana Khan, Sonam Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt amongst many others stood united against the criminals

News of eight-year-old Asifa Bano’s rape has taken India by storm. The young girl had gone missing in early January 2018 and was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the Hiranagar tehsil of Hindu-dominated Kathua district, initial reports suggested.

While tensions between Pakistan and India have always been on the high, celebrities from both sides of the border have come together to now demand justice for innocent Asifa.

Armeena Rana Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma and Nawazuddin Siddiqui amongst many others addressed the huge act of crime.

The cruelest form of evil is harming an innocent child. What is happening to the world we live in??? These people should be given the most severe punishment there is! Where are we heading as humanity?
Shaken to my core.#JusticeforAsifa

HOW do human beings go through evil acts on another human? During an act, how do they not stop? Is there no concience? No guilt? No regret? No humanity? HOWWW do you allow yourself to go through raping and killing a child?! Cannot understand it. #JusticeforAsifa

It's not about religion, politics, caste or color ... it's about BASIC humanity.#JusticeForAsifa #JusticeForUnnao #JusticeForOurChild

How many more children like baby Asifa will be sacrificed at the intersect of religion & politics? How many more children will have to suffer unimaginable crimes before we wake up? I’m disgusted. It’s time for swift action. We owe it to Asifa and to humanity. #justiceforAsifa.

We have failed as a society! Being a father, I am shaken and filled with anger reading about what happened to a 8 year old kid. My heart goes out to Asifa's family. I refuse to accept we really let THIS happen. Justice has to be served NOW. #JusticeforAsifa

Some celebrities held out posters stating that they felt ashamed.

Ab bhi jiska khoon na khaula, khoon nahin woh paani hai.#JusticeForAsifa #JusticeForUnnao #JusticeForOurChild #WakeUpTheGovernment#ArrestTheGuilty

Don't let this matter be pushed aside by the news-cycle driven media. Raise your voice, put up your own pictures and tag me. pic.twitter.com/hf5oj3uyBJ
