Celebs condemn assault on female at Minar-e-Pakistan, demand justice for victim
Celebrities took to social media to express anger and demand justice for the victim
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Political and showbiz celebrities from across Pakistan have strongly condemned the incident in which a young woman was groped and assaulted by hundreds people as she and her friends visited Minar-e-Pakistan on the country’s Independence Day.
Recent cases of violence against women have triggered a debate about Pakistan’s failure to protect women, a culture of impunity, and the reasons behind society s tendency to curtail women s independence and inflict pain on them.
Pakistan currently ranks as the sixth most dangerous country in the world for women and is currently witnessing a rapid rise in cases of sexual crimes and domestic violence.
There has been a huge outrage and several celebrities also took to social media to express anger and demand justice for the victim over the shocking incident. Here’s what they said:
Damn I’m sorry.. I keep forgetting - it was Her fault!! Poor 400 men.. they couldn’t help it. #MinarePakistan

What they will say: Pakistan is an Islamic Republic and medinay ki riyasat

What is the reality: Woman molested by 400 men at Minare Pakistan on Independence Day during Azaan.
We preach religion and patriotism here but we follow hedionism and barbarism. #minarepakistan
Also no more of, Islam gives women all the rights.

Extremely DISGUSTED! Disturbing!#lahoreincident
Another day, another incident, another moment we find ourselves collectively hanging our heads in shame.

Action, not just condemnation.
Bring the perpetrators to justice.
Now that we hav a plethora of evidence of what unfolded at #minarepakistan Can we finally see our police in action by putting those men responsible for this gruesome act behind the bars? Is this too much to ask for our women?#400men #lahoreincident #needanswers #protectourwomen

Ive been mulling over what to write after this mob groping video surfaced on the net today from Minar E Pakistan. Kahan reh gya hamara adab, ihteram, shirafat, haya? Kaise 400 admion ne 1 aurat ko mazak bana dia? Ye kon log hain jin ki haiwaniat khatam he nahi hoti?

The girl screams for help as she’s groped by hundreds of men. There is Azaan going on in the background.

I’m finding it hard to wrap my head around that scenario. #minarepakistan
We cannot continue to bury our heads in the sand. #Pakistan is not safe. Not for our women. Not for our children. Our children aren’t safe from rape even in death. This is the disgusting shameful reality. #MinarePakistan
