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.
