"LAHORE: Two robbers gang-raped a mother of two on the Motorway late Tuesday night in Gujjarpura police limits.The woman along with two children was traveling to Gujranwala in a car she was driving when she had to stop at the Gujjarpura section of the Motorway after running out of fuel at around 1.30am. She immediately called a relative and sent him her location. He asked her to also dial the Motorway Police helpline 130. She was reportedly given no response by the Motorway Police helpline. In the meantime, two robbers approached the car, broke the window, and took the woman and her children to nearby bushes where they raped her repeatedly in front of the children.They also snatched her purse carrying Rs100, 000 in cash, one bracelet, car registration and three ATM cards. The Gujjarpura police have registered a case and started investigation. The Motorway police spokesman said the incident did not occur in the limits of Motorway Police."

Rape cases have grown so rampant recently, yet our government remains idle on the matter. As if that weren't enough, some of the incompetent officers and officials have a victim-blaming mindset which not only deters cases from being reported but also prevents action from being taken.

We urge our government to make haste and amend their policies regarding rape cases and the capital punishment. We also urge them to review their officials and police task force personnel; making sure that they do not hold pro-rapist values. 

Public hanging would act as a great deterrent to potential or serial rapists and would also be morally the right thing to do. In the time of Zia-ul-Haq, a child rapist was hung publicly and for the next 10 years there was no reported rape case. This is a matter of urgency; to protect the sanctity of human life. Please sign the petition and share it as much as you can. 

PUBLICLY HANG RAPISTS
