Murder of Qandeel Baloch
In this Oct. 18, 2016 photo, a family member shows pictures of slain fashion model Qandeel Baloch, in Shah Sadderuddin, Pakistan. Baloch grew up in a poor farming family but “always wanted more, had different ideas,” her sister said. After escaping her childhood poverty and an abusive marriage to find online fame, she was killed by her brother for refusing to live a life dictated by repressive tribal and religious traditions. A joint session of the Pakistani Parliament approved an anti-honor killing bill this month, by a majority voice vote, that will introduce strict punishment — a mandatory 25-year sentence for a convicted “honor” killer. But the final wording allowed forgiveness of the death sentence. (AP Photo/Asim Tanveer) Qandeel Baloch, a popular model known for pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable behavior for women in Pakistan, was likely strangled in an honor killing on Friday.

Baloch’s parents told the Express Tribune that one her brothers, Wasim, had killed her following an argument. Family sources also told the Tribune that Baloch’s brothers — she had six — had asked her to quit modeling.
Baloch, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, recently stirred controversy amongst conservative Pakistanis after she posted a photo of herself with Mufti Qavi, a Muslim cleric. AP reported that in the photo, Baloch said the two of them had enjoyed soft drinks and some cigarettes together in the daylight hours during Ramadan, the holy month in which Muslims fast from dawn to dusk.
Baloch had requested security protection from the Interior Ministry but was denied, according to NBC News.
missing of innocent Bazeegha, Sareen Jan, Begum Jan, Amina and Shaheen have ever been definitively seen alive
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Mubashir Bhutta Advocate ,chairman of MBHRT Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights Trust and Chairman of Human Rights Committee of Pakistan shows serious concern on the missing of innocent Bazeegha, Sareen Jan, Begum Jan, Amina and Shaheen have ever been definitively seen alive. It was just a few seconds, a video clip of several young women laughing and clapping to music, dressed for a party or a wedding in orange headscarves and robes with floral patterns. Then a few more seconds of a young man dancing alone, apparently in the same room.
The cellphone video was made six years ago, in a village deep in Kohistan, a rugged area of northwest Pakistan. It was the last time the young women, known only as Bazeegha, Sareen Jan, Begum Jan, Amina and Shaheen, have ever been definitively seen alive.
What happened to them remains a mystery. Their fates have been shrouded by cultural taboos, official inertia, implacable resistance from elders and religious leaders suspected of ordering their deaths, and elaborate subterfuges by the families who reportedly carried out those orders.
[Killed in the name of ‘honor’ in Pakistan]
Even in Pakistan, where hundreds of “honor killings” are reported every year, this case was extreme. According to court filings and interviews with people who investigated it, the families confined the girls for weeks, threw boiling water and hot coals on them, then killed them and buried them somewhere in the Kohistan hills.
Later, when investigators appeared, relatives and community leaders insisted that the girls were still alive and produced a second set of similar-looking girls to prove it. They even disfigured one girl’s thumbprints so she couldn’t be checked against the identity of the victim she was supposed to impersonate.
The story illustrates many of the reasons Pakistani officials have failed to curb the problem of honor killings. These include the cruel sway of traditional tribal councils, known as jirgas, over uneducated villagers; the lengths to which such leaders may go to defy state authority; and the casual worthlessness they assign to the rights, lives and even identities of young women.
Honor killing is a practice where individuals, usually women, are killed by family members in the name of defending the family’s honor. Unfortunately, honor killings are not uncommon in Balochistan, a province in Pakistan.
In Balochistan, honor killings are often carried out against women who are deemed to have brought shame or dishonor to their families, such as by engaging in relationships that are considered inappropriate or by refusing to marry someone chosen by their families. In some cases, honor killings are also carried out against men who are perceived to have brought shame to their families.
Despite the fact that honor killings are illegal in Pakistan, the practice continues to occur in many parts of the country, including Balochistan. According to the Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights and According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), Balochistan had the highest number of reported cases of honor killings in the country in 2020, with 22 reported cases.
The government of Pakistan has taken some steps to address the issue of honor killings, including passing laws that impose harsher penalties on perpetrators and establishing special courts to handle such cases. However, more needs to be done to prevent honor killings from occurring in the first place, including raising awareness about the issue and working to change cultural attitudes that condone or support such violence. Additionally, survivors of honor killings and their families need access to support services and protection from further harm.
Honor killings, the practice of killing someone, usually a woman, in the name of defending family honor, is unfortunately not uncommon in Sindh, a province in Pakistan.
Honor killings in Sindh are often carried out against women who are deemed to have brought shame or dishonor to their families by engaging in relationships that are considered inappropriate or by refusing to marry someone chosen by their families. In some cases, honor killings are also carried out against men who are perceived to have brought shame to their families.
According to the Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights and According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), Sindh had the second-highest number of reported cases of honor killings in the country in 2020, with 19 reported cases. However, it is important to note that many honor killings go unreported in According to the Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights Honor killings, also known as “karo kari” or “izzat marna,” are a form of violence against women and girls that occur in Pakistan and other parts of the world. These killings are committed by family members, typically men, in order to preserve the “honor” of the family or community, often in response to perceived violations of social norms such as premarital sex, extramarital affairs, or marriage outside of one’s caste or religion.
According to the Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights, Honor killings are a serious issue in Pakistan, where they are illegal but still occur with alarming frequency. According to a report by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, there were at least 416 cases of honor killings in Pakistan in 2020, although this figure is likely an underestimation due to underreporting and inadequate documentation. Women and girls are the primary victims of honor killings, but men and boys may also be targeted.
According to the Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights ,The practice of honor killing is deeply rooted in patriarchal social norms and the subjugation of women, and is often linked to other forms of gender-based violence, such as domestic violence and forced marriage. Many women and girls who are at risk of honor killing are denied access to education, employment, and healthcare, which can exacerbate their vulnerability.
The Pakistani government has taken some steps to address honor killings, including passing the Anti-Honor Killing Laws in 2016, which increased penalties for honor killings and provided legal protection for victims. However, there are still significant gaps in the implementation of these laws, and cultural attitudes and practices continue to perpetuate violence against women and girls in the name of honor.
According to the Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights, Civil society organizations, human rights groups, and women’s rights activists continue to advocate for greater protection and support for victims of honor killings in Pakistan, as well as challenging the social norms and cultural practices that perpetuate this form of violence
