Muslim lawyers will "burn alive" anyone who defends murdered 12 year old Christian

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

No lawyer comes forward to defend Shazia Bashir, the servant girl murdered by her employer. The powerful association of lawyers in Lahore, arrayed in defence of the murderer, launches death threats and prevents access to the Court. Christian Association condemns this new form of terrorism.

Islamabad (AsiaNews) - Because of the threats posed by the powerful Lahore Bar Association – an umbrella organization of city lawyers - no Christian or Muslim lawyer is ready to take on the defence in the murder of 12 year-old Shazia Bashir, it was reported yesterday by The Pakistani Christian association that deals with legal assistance.

The girl, of Christian faith, died on Jan. 23 as a result of violence - even sexual – at the hands of her employer, a wealthy and powerful Muslim lawyer in Lahore. The alleged murderess, Chaudhry Mohammad Naeem, is a former president of the Lahore High Court Bar Association. The girl, just 12 years old, had worked as a maid in the home of Naeem in the last six months.

The Center for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS) denounces that access to the courtroom where the court hearings were held against the accused was denied, because a group of Muslim lawyers (pictured) 'prevented' entry. The association is fighting - for free - for the rights of the poorest and marginalized groups has been threatened by thousands of lawyers - friends of the murderer - that promise to burn alive anyone who wants to represent the victim in court. "

M. Joseph Francis, director of Claas, asked members of civil society, political and religious leaders to rise up and take steps to "condemn this new form of terrorism" by lawyers who "should ensure justice." The Pakistani newspaper The News reported that on Feb. 4, the police conducted the accused to the courts amid "tight security. And, as usual, officials prevented journalists and relatives of victims to come into the hall for "security reasons".

Shazia Bashir's family could not access the court not once but three times, a strange fact, regarding the judiciary in Pakistan. Police officials explain that it would "not be possible" to prevent clashes and violence, where "Shazia's relatives and representatives of minorities to enter the courtroom."

Meanwhile Ashgar Ali, heading the investigation, requested the accused appear before the courts and an extension of the terms of custody for six days. The magistrate added that the murder weapon has not yet been recovered and the accused could provide the names of accomplices, who participated in the torture and murder of the 12 year old Christian girl. The court, however, has only partly accepted the request, ruling only four days in jail.

No one can escape the judgement of ALLAH, and I do know that any evil act will get their reward in eternal damnation.

Why wait and take a chance? How about a bit of justice right here on earth? What's wrong with that concept?

I worked in human rights law in the Muslim world for a couple of decades. We helped convict many Muslims who raped and/or murdered non-Muslims. I know that the press loves controversy. I doubt this situation will remain unresolved because there are too many attorneys who live to takeon these types of cases, even at their own peril.

There's no justice in Pakistan if a 12 year old can be tortured and murdered and no one will defend a murdered kid. It's just that simple.

[justashooter 430]

yeah, this is the kind of cultural diversity we want here. nothing a belt fed can't handle.

[Danno 1,228]

Here we have well educated persons en mass rejecting what we would call, civilization.

Tell me that line again how it is just -misguided youths with no hope of a future being manipulated by a warped minority.

Just wait till this stuff starts to dominate Europe.

I don't think it's because of her religion. The lawyer who killed the girl is a very powerful person. In that part of the world, you can buy justice if you're at the top.

[luckytxn 2,265]

Nice religion there.

[Nizzy 1]

It these people were truly following Islamic law then the lawyer would be dead because he raped the poor girl...

Oh and there is no justice in Pakistan...you choose your fate depending on how much money you pay to have the authorities look the other way...it's all about who you are and how much money you have...

Geez...no child labor laws in Pakistan either?

[freetv 7]

Even if the girl was Muslim do you really think the lawyer wouldn't be pulling the same strings he is now? He is just trying to cover his own *** and its that simple. But I do agree that there is no justice in that part of the world.

A great location for a suicidal maniac with an automatic weapon......Period.

This story has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with corruption and abuse of power. But i guess it wouldn't be newsworthy if it was a muslim girl.
