2003
KARACHI: The Pakistan's human and civil rights group
Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International has demanded
for an immediate arrest of the killers of humanity including
members of Jirga, who ordered and brutally murdered
of two innocent lovers in Sanghar. According to the
sources decision to kill Shazia and her husband Mohammad
Hassan Solangi was made at a Jirga of Khaskheli clan
in Sanghar, Sindh.
Ansar Burney, Advocate the renowned human and civil
rights crusader and Chairman Ansar Burney Welfare Trust
International has demanded for the immediate arrest
to bring the Jirga members to Justice who ordered to
kill two innocent human beings a husband and his wife
on doing love marriage in Sanghar, Sindh.
According to sources, a Jirga was held at the house
of the girl's father that decided to carry out the execution
of the couple, and the innocents were brutally murdered
by a firing squad on Wednesday, 8th October, for marrying
of their own choice, which was considered by the Khaskheli
clansmen as a stigma on so-called honour of their clan.
Reliable sources informed Ansar Burney Welfare Trust
International that when the couple was caught near the
DPO office, innocent Shazia was offered pardon, if she
gave a statement against Hassan, but Shazia a true lover
refused to give any statement against her husband. Then
the innocent couple was taken to Nizamani Mohalla where
Hasan was already confined in an Otaq of a landlord,
where he was severely tortured before killing him along
with Shazia.
Reportedly when the girl was picked up for execution
by the firing squad, her father resisted, saying that
he had pardoned her daughter, and pleaded for her life,
but in vain.
"When the execution party brought the couple to
where the execution was to be carried out, the girl
reportedly tried to save her husband by coming in front
of him. Both were shot in the head and died as the bullets
pierced through their bodies". Ansar Burney said.
Burney said both were shot dead in the head and the
bullets went through them. They died on the spot and
now their souls are asking and urging for justice. "No
action has so far been taken against the killers and
Jirga members". Ansar Burney added.
The Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International in the
greater interest of Justice, Humanity and Human Rights
ask the Government and demands for an immediate arrest
of the killers of humanity including the members of
so-called Jirga. "If government failed to take
any action for their political reasons, we will raise
this issue on international platforms to safeguard the
human dignity in Pakistan". Said Ansar Burney.
