The most precious thing in this world is the life of a human being. It becomes even more precious when you talk about the life of a child who is just 7 years old.
I am very ashamed and sad to share a recent news from Pakistan where a 7 Years old adorable child was abducted, raped, murdered and then thrown to a garbage heap.Her name was Zainab.
My motive is not to disgrace my country or its reputation among the whole world, being a Pakistani Citizen it is a matter of utter shame for me but just want to make you aware and take care of your children and the surrounding you are living in.
What happened to Zainab will make you lose your faith in humanity. There are no words to express this unthinkable act of brutality.
Zainab, 7, had gone to a religious tuition center near her house in the Road Kot area last Thursday (Jan 4) from where she is believed to have been abducted. Her parents had been in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), according to her family, and she had been living with a maternal aunt.
Soon after her abduction, her panicked family had received footage showing her walking with a stranger near Peerowala Road.
On Tuesday, a police constable deputed to trace the girl recovered her body from a heap of trash near the Shahbaz Khan Road.
A first information report had been registered against the disappearance of the girl on Jan 5, with the victim's paternal uncle as the complainant in the case. Murder charges were added to the FIR on Jan 9, after the victim's body was recovered.
Protests break out
The recovery of Zainab's body on Tuesday had ignited protests and a shutter-down strike in the city.
As word got around, traders shuttered their shops and staged a protest demonstration. Scores of other people also gathered at Steel Bagh Mor near the hospital and protested with the girl's body in the middle of the road. They also threw traffic out of gear by burning tyres on Ferozepur Road and chanted slogans against police and local parliamentarians for their alleged apathy.
People from other parts of the country took to social media to share their anger and outrage over the murder using the hashtag #JusticeForZainab.
Not only the known personalities of the country but whole nation was sad and in shock.
On Social media, posts were being written for the justice of innocent Zainab.
It was unbelievable for everyone to even consider something like this could happen.
- Missing person FIR registered on Jan 5, a day after the girl went missing
- CCTV footage of girl being led by a suspect was circulated on social media after she went missing
- Police later found girl's body dumped in a trash heap on Tuesday
- Police confirmed after initial investigation that the girl was strangled
- Citizens have been protesting in Kasur amidst a complete shutdown of the city
- Social media outrage has grown across the country over the police's perceived inaction
- The LHC CJ, Punjab CM, Senate, chief justice of Pakistan and the army chief have taken notice of the case
- Riots continue in Kasur, as groups of protesters demand justice for Zainab and for two protesters killed in clashes with police
There is nothing which can undo this act but we can punish that culprit and make him an example for other too if someone even dares to think about this barbaric act.
This incident also gave voice and courage to so many other girls who have been victim of sexual molestation in their childhood and they were not ashamed of sharing that with the public.
Nadia Jamil, Frieha Altaf and Maheen Khan, also took to Twitter and shared their accounts of sexual abuse and called for a change to take place so that the perpetrators of this act are punished.
In a series of tweets, Nadia wrote
I was 4 the first time I was abused sexually. I was in college when it blew out of proportion.
People tell me not to talk to respect my families honour. Is my families honour packed in my body? I am a proud,strong,loving survivor. No shame on me or my kids. Only pride 4 being me
— Nadia Jamil January 13, 2018
Similarly, model turned choreographer and event manager Frieha Altaf, also shared her experience on Twitter, where she wrote
I was sexually abused by our cook at age 6. My parents took action but everyone remained silent as if it was my shame. At 34 I realised how it had impacted my life.the only shame is keeping SILENT #ChildAbuse #shame #NoMoreChildAbuse #MeToo #JusticeForZainab #HowToStopChildAbuse
— Frieha Altaf January 14, 2018
Fashion designer Maheen Khan also wrote her story in a tweet which read
#childabuse #saynotochildabuse #metoo The Maulvi(Religious teacher) who came to teach me the Quran abused me sexually .I froze in fear day after day .
Share in support of children subjected to the sick acts ..by so-called custodians of our religion
— Maheen Khan. January 14, 2018
After reading their tweets and doing more research on child molestation I will like to say
Girls, being a boy I am ashamed of what we men do to you. This is nonsense and unbearable.No one should be ever allowed to anything like this to anyone.If someone ever does this to you, please raise your voice and don't be silent.
I literally have tears in my eyes at the moment of writing this down and just thinking what had been her condition.While being raped and tortured she must have called the God almighty but nothing happened.
I just pray her parents get justice and nothing like this happens to anyone. I pray you all are safe there and protecting your children.:60
@suf1an
It's really shocking ..
The hearts of people are measured but there is hope
We must call for combating ignorance in poor societies
yes ! please stop abusing
I'm angry looking at this news. How can a rapist did such an immoral and cruel act to a 7-years old innocent girl. How would he feel if his own daughter being raped, murdered and thrown in a piles of rubbish? The world has changed. Everyone in the society should play a role to protect these vulnerable groups
Yes, Jiashin, you are right. Exactly everyone is saying the same.How could he even thought of doing it. Look at her, she was such an adorable. As a race, I think we have failed.
Thank you for stoping by.

May her soul rest in peace.
Allah have his mercy on her and her family.
@suf1an
This guys are barbarians, what the hell, why will a 7 yrs old girl go through this, I feel so ashamed to be a man. May her gentle soul rest in peace😥
@suf1an my heart bleeds with u
Thank you so much.
Yes, I had the same feeling being a man.
@suf1an
Those evil people who perpetrated this act must face the full punishment.
This is so painful and unfortunate.
Yeah, it is unbearable. Whole nation is in trauma.
@suf1an
i truly agree one thing i want to add is that as a nation we Pakistanis have gone so feeling-less and insensitive that we only show verbal concerns to victims. secondly the police has not shown any concern keeping in view that such cases were reported and no action was taken.
Yes you have a point there. It is not the first time.This kind of acts have been happening and in news for last 3 years.
Very sad incident, pary for her family to bear this great loss and get Justice soon.
Yes, my prayers are with them.
@suf1an
Seems like an unfortunate fact that we are collectively losing our ability to empathize. Like a starving depraved wolf lurking the corridors of a chicken wire fence looking for a lost child to snatch up, people are becoming more and more sociopathic as we collectively descend into desensitization. Like an endless cycle of abuse, we spill our hatred onto our children.Though I believe there will be tipping point at which some force will come to re balance the scales.
That being said, i truly hope that the family of Zainab will come to terms with what has happened and will be able to once again find peace in there lives.
One can only imagine facing the emotional horrors that must come about from losing a child in this way.
Thank you so much for your reply. We can only share their sorrow and have sympathy. I wish everyone in this world thinks like you.
@suf1an
I feel like throwing after reading this. How could anyone be so cruel and inhumane? I hope whoever did this will be captured and be subjected to the same cruelty and brutality as he did to the poor girl. I never wished anyone harm but I can make an exception on this one as I no longer see that beast as human. I hope that she gets the justice she deserves.
I had the same reaction. I don't like violence and killing anyone.But his this act is not forgiveable. He should be hanged in front of whole world.
@suf1an
I am just speechless. How a human being can do such a thing!!!! May Allah Grant her Jannah and Punish those devil in this world and afterlife.
His this act has proved that he is not a human being and as a community we really need to think about it and come up with a solution to avoid this kind of act in future.
@suf1an
I have tears in my eyes by reading this news...i don't know how to react on it and what to say But just a humble request dear men's who are reading this news, don't just comment and upvote...but to understand the pain of girls who goes through this sexual harassment...try to feel that every girl outside or of yours family does have the rights to have freedom like you guys have. If you are a true and real supporter of girls like your sisters mothers then try to protect the girls around you as you saves protects your girls. Just let them feel free to do the things which makes them happy..let them get dressed up the way the want..there is nothing wrong in wearing short dresses...people's who thinks that the girls only provoke guys by carrying short dresses are the narrow minded peoples who does not have the right to have girls even as their mother,sister,friend as well as their life partners.
I also know that not every men is like those rascals as you can see @suf1an the man who wrote this article has really have respect for the girls as he respects his sisters, @suf1an I just want to say that I want every man should feel and respect for girls like you, You really are a good hearted person I wish you all success and happiness in your life...lots of love from all the girls and from my side too, who wants the male's around them should respect them like you...:""")
I pray to God May he bless the soul of angel ZAINAB...
Thank you juhi for stopping by and I can clearly see the voice and what girls go through every day in their life in your comment. As a boy, I am really ashamed of what we do.
It should be stopped. All those people who think short dresses of girls provoke them to rape them is bullshit. You should have control over yourself and not forget that whatever bad you will do you will have to pay for it.
Juhi being a girl, you have all the rights to do whatever you want to do in your life and whatever the way you want to live. You have all the freedom.No one can stop you. You have as equal rights as all the boys.
Thank you for your blessings. May you get all the success in life and your dreams come true.

Unfortunately, i'm not stranger to this kind of abusing stories. We are facing that kind of sickening news every day in Turkey. We should be bold as those pervs otherwise they keep abusing little angels like Zainab without hesitation.
People like them should be spaying. And this should not be against human rights. Actually, this should be a human right at all.
OMG, seriously? Why do they have to do this.If they are that desperate then why don't they get married or find a partner.
Exactly, they should be punished like a real punishment.
Actually, when somebody offers them marriage, they prefer marry with underage girls and they say this is suitable to religion... And noone with power restrain them from it. I really hate my country sometimes, and feel eager to change that kind of bullshit in the future with people think alike.
O yeah you are right. The suitation is kind of same here too.
These people don't want to change abd adopt the advancements.
WE ARE NOT STUPID !
IF YOU 270% RETURN, YOU WILL DO THIS OKAY?
SEE THATS...

Thank you so much rougebot.It means a lot to me.
Justice for this child. hope the evil one does it will be punished.
excelente publicación un llamado a reflexión y a cambiar la mentalidad de muchos
Unfortunately, the Hadith and Shari'a codify that it is good to rape a young girl. The Prophet Muhammad married a six year old girl and raped her (islam may call it "consummation of marriage") at nine years of age. Unfortunately, until Islam undergoes an enlightenment and reformation, much as Christianity underwent, then this culture of atrocity against young girls, women, gays, and non-muslims, will continue to be blessed and sanctioned by Islam's religious leaders. Read the jewish Talmud (the jewish equivalent of Shari'a), and you'll read about similar atrocities, but there was a cultural reformation, and there existed (and still exists) an environment that allows dissenting and moderate views to exist - an environment that currently doesn't exist in the muslim world. Understand what Islam's leaders call "Dar ul-Harb" and "Dar ul-Islam", and you'll understand when and where such atrocities are allowed and encouraged. I am not here to insult Islam or the Prophet (PBUH), but rather to encourage dialogue among moderate muslims (the vast majority) to raise their voices together to demand a reformation and enlightenment. You (readers) either cherish the lives of your most vulnerable and most innocent, or you consider them to be disposable (and believe it's ok to rape, murder, and chop off their little genitals). It's time for you to decide, and it's time for you to take a side.
I am a muslim and being a muslim you have to be brave enough to listen to these kind of arguments and I respect your thinking.
Ya brother, I hope you take the time to slowly read the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Shari'a, word-for-word. Insha'allah, you will find that what I say is not an opinion, but instead, it is recorded fact, for you to see with your own eyes. Unfortunately, most muslims do not even read their holy books, and instead, they depend upon the interpretations of their religious leaders. This gives your religious leaders too much control over their people. Reform and moderation of islam will not come from the religious leaders, because that would make them less powerful. Reform and moderation of Islam will only come from the people, who who have seen the truth by reading the holy books for themselves. Only then, will Islam cease to be a blood-soaked, child-raping death cult. Christianity underwent a moderation and reformation many centuries ago. Give it a try, and your society will experience an incredible renaissance, ya akhiyy.
