Pakistan: Three Muslim gunmen forcibly abducted 16-year-old Muqadas, a Christian, from her family home and seriously injured her grandmother who tried to stop them. According to the report, “The whole incident was seen by a village of witnesses who ran out of their homes to see what was causing loud shrill screaming….” As usual, police initially refused to register the crime until three days later and after much pressure, including from a foreign human rights association.
“Even then, police visited the family home of the abductor Mohammed Azim Malik and failed to locate him or the missing child and instead of placing Mr. Malik on a wanted list, [they] allowed time for Mr. Malik to beat Muqadas into submission [and then to escape].”
Instead of offering to help locate them, the Muslim wife of the rapist, when approached by some local Christian women, proceeded to say that her husband had “done a good deed.”
