Two Pakistani men who gang-raped a French tourist in front of her three children six years ago will be sentenced to death, a court has ruled.
Abid Malhi and Shafqat Ali were convicted of gang rape, kidnapping, robbery and terrorism offences back in March 2021 over the attack on the Sialkot-Lahore Motorway and were handed the death penalty.
Both appealed their conviction, with the defence arguing that there were gaps in the prosecution's version of events and that the judge’s decision was unjust.
But on Wednesday, two judges dismissed the appeal after the prosecution argued that there was overwhelming evidence against the two men, according to the English-language Pakistani news outlet, Dawn.
Malhi and Ali unleashed their attack on September 9, 2020, after the woman and her three children became stranded on the motorway leading out of Lahore after running out of fuel.
She had locked the car doors while she waited for help, but the attackers broke a window and dragged her outside, where they raped her at gunpoint in front of her terrified children.
The men also stole money, jewellery, and bank cards before fleeing.
Police said the woman was left traumatised, but she was able to provide them with some basic descriptions of her attackers.

Pakistan???
YES!
If they did it in France, they would be celebrated as heroes.
They hang ‘em in Pakistan. No scimitar. Dang it.
Hanging? Ok ...
Impaling would be appropriate
In any case, there may be more justice in Pakistan than in UK or France.
Women-hating societies like this are and always will be stone age....
Justice as it should be
Ditto, iF they hand done it in a Demonicrat-controlled part of the U.S.
Tourism in Pakistan? Seriesly?
I wonder what tipped it to a death penalty? The horrific crime itself? Or using a gun in the course of the act?
Douse them with something sweet, bind their hands and feet, and toss ‘em into a pen of full grown hogs.
Pakistan actually giving savage barbarians the punishment they deserve while no country in Western Europe has the balls to do anything similar? How Shameful for the West.
I guess the three children were boys so there were enough male witnesses.
Stay the hell away from Pakistan if you don’t want to meet up with monsters.
If this had been a Pakistani woman who was gang-raped, they’d have gotten away with it and she’d likely have been forced to marry one of her rapists. Since it was a Western woman with plenty of press attention, they’re hanging the criminals.
Brain-dead savages or normal muslims
French leadership will likely rebuke Pakistan for carrying out the sentence.
