An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday handed over life sentences to two convicts in the Kasur child abuse case.
ATC special court’s judge Chaudhry Mohammad Ilyas heard the case and announced verdict against Haseem Amir and Faizan Mehmood. Both the convicts were awarded life imprisonment and a fine of Rs 0.3 million each.
The case against these convicts was registered at Ganda Singhwala police station in Kasur district.
Last year, at least 280 children were filmed being sexually abused by a gang of 25 men who used the hundreds of videos they produced to blackmail the youngsters’ parents.
Most of the victims who are from Husain Khanwala village near Kasur are less than 14-years-old.
Their families had also been blackmailed by the gang since 2009.
The abusers allegedly tried to extort money from parents of victims, selling clips of the videos locally for Rs 40 each if they did not pay up.
A property dispute allegedly brought the issue to the surface.
Is this justice for 250 victims? Shame on the the Law and authority system and shame on Govt.
