Glasgow woman dies during forced abortion in Pakistan [Honor killing?]

STV news can reveal that a Glasgow woman died during a forced abortion in Pakistan. Twenty-two year-old Sobia Wali, from the Crookston area of the city was recently married and went back to Pakistan to attend a family funeral.

Sobia Wali was five months pregnant. The call centre worker married just after Christmas.

Last week Sobia returned to Pakistan to attend her grandmother's funeral.

While there, her friends say she sent desperate texts to her husband asking for his help. Then later they heard from Pakistan that Sobia died from a virus while in Gudjhranwala near Lahore.

But it has emerged that she was apparently forced to have an abortion. She died during the procedure.

Sobia and her husband married on December 27. She loved her husband desperately, but there were only three witnesses at the wedding and it is understood that two of them had never even met the groom, who is also from Glasgow's south side.

They married in secret because her family apparently did not approve of her husband, Usman Gulzar, and his family.

Strathclyde Police would only say they are investigating Sobia's death, but it is understood that detectives are interviewing her friends and family.

Glasgow MP Mohammed Sarwar has experience of this kind of case, he was involved in having the killers of Glasgow teenager Kriss Donald returned to Scotland to face trial and negotiated the return to Pakistan of schoolgirl Molly Campbell.

Tomorrow he will speak to detectives in Glasgow and Foreign Office officials, as well as senior detectives in Pakistan. It is understood he will be pressing for Sobia's body to be exhumed and undergo a post mortem.

Looks like the hubby is going to have to work extra hard to raise the money to hire goons and thugs (both derived from Punjabi words BTW) to avenge this.

If he's got a really good job there's a whole village at risk.

No doubt the people who killed his wife feel secure, but that's only because they have no realistic understanding of the economic differentials involved.

Reading this article it sounds like the Police Chief has already been bought ~ by the husband!

I’ve been told - and may have been told wrong - that muslims insist on abortion if a child has been conceived out of wedlock or an adulterous affair. Does anybody know more about that than what I’ve heard?

“Islam is evil”

I just hope enough people, particularly the Europeans, realize this before it’s too late.

Gotta wonder if the whole Grandma thing was just used to get her to come back.

How do you perform a jihadi abortion?

Simple, you hack off the woman’s head.

First mistake was for this woman to return to Pakistan for any reason. Once you’re out of that hell hole, stay away.

Or for his own protection.

I got a different read from it, that the police are looking at it as a sort of 'honor killing' (what an oxymoron), but aren't holding their breath for cooperation from her family in Lahore. I don't think they'll hold their breath waiting for that autopsy, either.

ISLAM IS NOT EVIL!!! for everyone whose asking if Abortion is allowed in Islam NO IT IS NOT. it is forbidden! people just do these things and the blame gets put on the religion. every religion has things which are forbidden to do, yet people of that particular religion still go on and commit the sins! so its not only Muslims who commit crimes! its everyone no matter what background they are from! It's getting very sick and tiring hearing everyone blame the entire Muslim community! okay fair enough there are Muslim terrorists but that doesn't mean every single Muslim in this world is sick minded and a danger. incase some of you didn't know terrorists can be anyone, and yes there are Christians and other white people who are terrorists. the media just doesn't focus on them!

whoevers this stinkerpot65 you're some racist person you know that? you wouldn't like it if i started making fun of your religion would you? no? innit? so stop saying things which offend other people!

and for all those who seem to be making fun of this are just sick in the head! u think its funny because she was an Asian girl or are most of you just cold-hearted????

i agree what happened to her was terrible and she didn't deserve that and hopefully whoever was responsible will be punished. may her soul rest in peace!
