In her last written message Fakhra Yunus said that she was committing suicide over the silence of law on the atrocities and insensitivity of Pakistani rulers. Another acid attack, but this time the only difference was that that the one who threw acid on her was himself a politician, a person who was supposed to work for the betterment of this state. But his brutal act shows that he’s worse than an animal.
This horrible event took place some 12 years ago and no action was taken, no justice for her. This also shows how ineffective our law is. A strict action has to be taken against the culprit.
It’s time Fakhra should get justice. But Fakhra is not the only victim, there are many other women seeking justice in this country. They must all get justice.
