Israr Ullah Zehri, Traditionalist, Psychopath, Member of Parliament

Pakistani women buried alive for ‘choosing husbands’ – Telegraph — This an amazing story, but these sorts of tales permeate modern Pakistan where these practices are defended by a large portion of the public and, in fact, never prosecuted as crimes because the locals do not see this as a crime. It also tends to be under-reported in the West because it may insult a Pakistani.

Israr Ullah Zehri, who represents Baluchistan province, told a stunned parliament that northwestern tribesman had done nothing wrong in first shooting the women and then dumping them in a ditch.

“These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend them,” he said.

“Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid.”

The women, three of whom were teenagers and whose “crime” was that they wished to choose who to marry, were still breathing as mud and stones were shovelled over their bodies, according to Human Rights Watch.

The three girls, thought to be aged between 16 and 18, were kidnapped by a group of men from their Umrani tribe and murdered in Baba Kot, a remote village in Jafferabad district.

According to some reports, Baluchistan government vehicles were used to abduct the girls, and the killing was overseen by a tribal chief who is the brother of a provincial minister from the ruling Pakistan People’s Party.

And always remember these people have an A-bomb too.
