The elitist impunity in Pakistan rips our hearts apart daily as we are forced to digest the fact that the wealthy can literally get away with murder. The pain from this gaping wound becomes unbearable when such individuals recommence their normal lives, while ours are shattered forever. Consider the recent case of Natasha Danish/Iqbal, a member of the affluent Karachi society, who was involved in a fatal drunk driving accident, causing the death of innocent victims.

Shrouded in the protective shield of her relationship with high-profile corporations like the Satara Group and Gul Ahmed, Natasha was spared any legal action for her dangerous and fatal misconduct. Our city, our community, and our justice system paused for a moment and then moved on, leaving the victims' families in unresolved pain and heartache.

According to the World Health Organization, 27.5 per 100,000 people die in road traffic accidents in Pakistan every year, many of which are attributable to drunk driving. (Source: WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety) This is a battle we are fighting not just against one individual, but against a failing system that frequently caters to the wealthy and disregards the rest.

This is why we call upon the relevant legal bodies to revisit this case and demand justice for the victims of Natasha Danish/Iqbal's drunk driving incident. For the curing of this festering wound, for the return of faith in justice, and to set the tone that no one is above the law, not the rich, not the powerful.

Let's cry out before another innocent life is extinguished, another family left to grapple with a void that only justice can fill. Please, add your signature to this petition, now. Stand up for justice. Demand accountability. Let us not allow the privileged to step on our necks anymore, knowing that their money and power will save them. This has to STOP! Sign today and demand justice for victims of drunk driving in Karachi. We demand justice for the victims of Natasha's reckless actions. Pakistan's justice system has to respond to our cries.
