*Almost 1,000 Pakistani women and girls were murdered last year for
allegedly defaming their family's honour*, according to the country's
leading human rights group.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan annual report said around 595 of
the women killed in 2011 were accused of *having "illicit relations"* and
219 of *marrying without permission*. *Some victims were raped or gang
raped before being killed*, the Commission said. *Most of the women were
killed by their brothers or husbands. *Only 20 of 943 killed were reported
to have been provided medical aid before they died, the Commission wrote.
The Commission* reported 943 'honour killings' in 2011, 152 more than the
previous year*. Despite the rising number of reported killings, activists
have praised parliament for passing laws aimed at strengthening women's
protection against abuses.
The activists praised the parliament while the number of honor killings
increased? And how can you praise a country that still allows this to
happen?
Congratulations Pakistan. You prove that your barbaric religious
followings truly make Islam the "religion of pieces".
