Pakistani celebrities have taken to social media and demanded justice for Sunita Masih, a 14-year-old Christian girl gang-raped in Faisalabad.
As per details, Sunita was abducted and gang-raped. She was allegedly asked to convert to Islam and when she refused, they cut her hair and tortured her sensitive body parts.
“Feeling sick to the stomach. With each new case, humanity plunges deeper and deeper into a dreary, dark pit,” wrote Adnan Siddiqui while addressing this incident on Twitter.
Siddiqui questioned: “Why are we turning into morally depraved monsters? Abhorrent!”
Armeena Rana Khan said: “Sunita Masih, a Christian girl from Faisalabad, aged just 14 has allegedly been gang raped. She was asked to recite the Kalma. When she refused her hair was shaved off. So, lots of activism for the innocents elsewhere, great but how about raising our voices here too?”
“Appalled. Speechless,” said Faysal Quraishi. “Assailants of such crimes should be granted the highest form of punishment so that they can be an example for all those who even think of committing such atrocious crimes.”
Actor and television host Nadia Jamil took to social media and said: “I urge all of us on media to protect the dignity of the child Sunita Masih by blurring her face. It will cause further trauma to her to be b exposed.”
“I plea to Imran Khan to ensure she is provided physical/mental health care immediately and to see that the perpetrators are arrested, punished,” she appealed to Prime Minister Imran Khan .
In another tweet, Jamil requested PM Imran to look at the case of the 14-year-old. “She needs care 4 her physical wounds and mental health. She needs her face protected. She is too young to be exposed publicly by media. Perpetrators should be arrested immediately amd punished as soon as possible,” wrote Jamil.
“Deleted my previous tweet, instead of sharing the victims picture,” said comedian and host Shafaat Ali.
“This is just shameful and unbelievably inhumane. We cannot let minorities and CHILDREN suffer these atrocities for reasons which are incomprehensible. We need implementation of law and strict punishments so we can put an end to this nonsense once and for all,” wrote Hassan Sheheryar on Twitter.
Ushna Shah also addressed the incident, while sharing Armeena Rana’s tweet on her Instagram stories, she said: “Apna girehbaann quite soiled.”
Alizeh Shah also condemned this act of brutality, saying: “I don’t know where these people are heading to by doing such sinful acts.”
“Rape culprits k law ka kya bana? Implementation ka kya hua,” questioned Maryam Nafees.
Zoya Nasir apologised from Sunita for “what these monsters” dis to her.
Many other social media users have also strongly condemned this inhumane treatment to the teenager and demanded immediate action from the government against the accused.
According to reports, data released by a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) Sahil, eight children are abused every day in Pakistan in one form or the other, while 51 per cent of the victims are girls and 49 per cent boys.
