“Shooting is only allowed.” The voice of a man came, “Take the Quran from them.” Banu said before playing these words, “Stay seven steps away from me” Banu’s brother shot. Banu first fell to the ground, then her husband Ehsan was shot. The only mistake of the couple was that they had married their choice.
The couple was killed 40 miles from Quetta in Dakki, where the police is not responsible. The video of the couple’s murder last week went viral on social media, and learned about the tremendous impacts of the old traditions of tribal society around the world. No one was immediately informed about the frightening murder. A Quetta journalist says that the couple had hidden their choice but were not present in the area.
Meanwhile, the elders of the area decided that Ehsan should be killed on the kidnapping of the girl, but on the other hand it was said that the girl was ready to get married, then the elders agreed to kill both. It has also been reported that Ehsan had taken shelter for the head of his tribe, but the couple was called in the name of invitation and it was decided to kill them there. When the video went viral, the video was mentioned by the girl and the boy in this video.
The name of this tribe and the place of incident was also not revealed. The Government of Balochistan also did not reveal the name of the region and the tribe, reacting to the video, but when the demand on social media began that the region and the tribe were identified, some journalists identified the tribe and the place. The Government of Balochistan has claimed that thirteen people have been arrested so far, but the new situation of the Chief Minister is that the head of the tribe, Sher Baj Satkzai, is not involved in crime.
In the 90s, the Human Rights Commission HRCP Chairperson Hina Jilani and Asma Jilani took refuge at a shelter home established in Lahore by a highly educated family in Peshawar as she decided to divorce her husband and marry her husband.
The girl’s mother, who was a doctor, came to meet the girl with a man. As soon as she entered the room, the person who came with her shot the girl. Hina Jilani survived the second bullet of the man. A police constable posted in Hina’s office set fire. The burial killer was also killed, but despite all the efforts, the girl’s mother was not arrested. At that time, the PML -N government was. PPP’s barrister Etizaz Ahsan and Barrister Iqbal Haider Senator were. He condemned the incident in the Senate.
Only MQM -Backed poet Jamiluddin Aali supported the resolution. Former General Secretary of the banned Rashtriya Awami Party Ajmal Khattak and Awami were also a progressive writer elected on the National Party ticket, but he too did not agree to support the motion to condemn the murder of the girl. Thus, the proposal could not get a majority vote.
In 2008, when Yusuf Raza Gilani of PPP was the Prime Minister and Asif Ali Zardari, Asif Ali Zahari was also a minister in his mixed cabinet. Zahri belonged to a large tribe in Balochistan. At that time, the news of six girls buried alive in Balochistan was published in newspapers. The minister had said, “This is according to our traditions.” Bizzanzo was alive at that time, he strongly condemned the incident at that time and said that “the minister has presented the post contrary to the Baloch traditions.”
This ritual has been going on for thousands of years. In Sindh, Balochistan, South Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, this ritual is still followed and this process is called Honor Killing. When the British came, the British declared Satti’s rituals and performances an unconstitutional Act, but did not implement strict rules to punish criminals. The British government declared acting a crime in 1860, but its sentence was reduced.
The Federal Sharia court amended the rules in 1990 and made it according to Sharia. In 1999, World Human Rights Organization, Amnesty International said in its report that the laws about the work were weak and the authorities were not serious about punishing the accused in these cases. The government amended the law under pressure from international organizations in December 2004. Under the new law, honor murders were proposed for seven years imprisonment.
In 2005, the Government of Pakistan rejected the draft of a law, which proposed to increase the punishment of criminals. In 2006, the Women’s Protection Act was implemented. Under this law, it was decided to punish the criminals of life imprisonment in the amendment offenses in the name of 2010 criminal law (on the pretext of honor). Under this law, the guilty criminal was abolished by close relatives. Under this law, criminals can now be sentenced to 14 years in jail.
Sadia Baluch, a member of the Human Rights Commission HRCP, analyzed the events of the upper Sindh in his book, saying, “When a crop is harvested, a person kills a woman or a woman to take revenge on his enemy, then kills his enemy and declares that he has been killed and killed.” There is no prayer for his funeral. These people are buried at the distant place.
Dynamic teacher of Sindh University, Dr. Irfana Mahal and Professor Amar Sandhu wrote in one of their writing that they had seen the graves of women working. Work decisions are made in Jirga. Only men participate in Jirga. Prominent and elders of tribes are capable of every decision. Under the decisions of the High Courts, Jirga has been banned, but there are Jirgas across the country.
Many GIRGAs also participate in ministers, elected members, senior police officers. According to a Human Rights Commission report, 392 women were also killed last year on the charge of the caretaker. Advocate Hina Jilani, who followed such cases, said that the hearing rate in acting cases is less than one percent and rarely a person is punished for crime.
The new statement made by the Chief Minister of Balochistan has adopted the woman of murder and the man has imprinted the severity of crime. A quetta journalist says that the participation of hundreds of people in the funeral of the victim has proved that the people of the area consider Gal Bano to be oppressed. The most important thing in the context of Balochistan is that the Baloch solidarity committee, which is struggling for human rights in Balochistan, should strongly oppose the murder. At the end of the royal system, the tradition of honor killings ended.
