A teenage girl was gang-raped in central Pakistan last month as "punishment" meted out by a tribal jury for her brother's alleged affair with a woman of a higher tribe, police said.
A Panchayat, or tribal jury, ordered four men, including one of the jurists, to rape the 18-year-old girl on June 22 in the village of Meerwala.
Meerwala lies 610 kilometres south-west of the capital Islamabad.
District police chief Malik Saeed Awan said authorities were informed of the publicly-ordered gang-rape several days after the incident.
He said four men took turns to sexually assault the girl inside a room. She was then ordered to return home naked before 1,000 onlookers.
The rape was to avenge the "insult" caused to a family of the Mastoi tribe by the girl's brother's alleged "illicit affair" with a woman of a higher social standing.
The girl and her brother were from the lower Gujjar tribe.
The Panchayat had threatened that all women in the accused's family would be raped unless the 18-year-old submitted herself to the public gang rape.
Awan said police were taking action against members of the Panchayat.
Lawyers visiting the tribal area on Sunday urged the authorities to prosecute the rapists and the jury.
I've yet to find any posts from you in this thread condemning any of the following statements made by other posters:
"outlaw Islam in America it is a terrorist group"
"Mere killing is too kind for these people"
"Mohammedans are vile. They are lower than vermin. They should be treated as such"
"These people are godless heathen dogs and sons of Belial and the more of them that kill each other the better"
And my personal favorite ...
'"Allah" who so loves murder, suicide, terror, bloodshed, the sounds of exploding bombs in crowded market places, the smell of burning flesh, the taste of blood, the screams of pain and terror and anguish! who roars with laughter at a baby or a kitten dressed as a suicide bomber!'
Yes or no - do you support genocide or not?
No, I wouldn't be. I saw what was written. It was forwarded to me by the recipient.
Written perhaps by the person who purported to forward it. Seriously, you ought to forward the purported email to me so I can read what you say some unnamed person claims I wrote. Doing so will allow you to be freed from this cloud of dishonesty hovering over you.
That is an interesting question. so, perhaps, you would like to tell us if you support the Palis and their supporters. They want the extermination of the Jewish people. So, if you support their cause, you support genocide. So, is it yes or no?
You could at least ping me when you use one of my quotes..
