In the video, the man can be seen strangling his sister, Maria, to death. The man did so in front of their family members. Afterwards, the father hands over a bottle of water to the man. Maria's honour killing bore resemblance to the murder of social media star Qandeel Baloch in 2016. Dubbed as Pakistan's Kim Kardashian, 26-year-old Baloch's brother Muhammad Waseem murdered her for "bringing dishonour" to the family. The case caught the attention of the country and was said to be the most high-profile honour killing in Pakistan in recent times. Waseem, who admitted of having no remorse of killing his sister, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2019. However, he was released in 2022 after Baloch's mother pardoned him of the crime. A legal technicality in Pakistan allows a victim's mother to forgive the offender of the crime.

This is pretty effed up. But being Pakistan it is not likely to change. And, they will probably get a parade. #4 | Posted by REDIAL
The calmness with which they murdered that woman. It's absolutely chilling. Apparently it was a family event as they killed her in front of one of her siblings who then reported it to the police.

you can't compare one mentally sick family with all the weekly school shootings and mass shootings your effed up culture has.
Yeah, we have a lot of killings. That sort of thing happens when you hand out guns like candy to any moron who can rub two cents together.
But Pakistan has a lot more than "one mentally sick family." The stats suggest around 1,000 honor killings a year in Pakistan. en.wikipedia.org And that's just the number that is reported. That suggests a fundamental problem to me, much like how certain communities (not Pakistan) chop off their girl's naughty bits to keep them pure. en.wikipedia.org
Do I support the death penalty? Yes, I most certainly do. #8 | Posted by Monkeybars
Doubt that will happen here, though. As in many other honor killings, the girl's mother will forgive because she is also the wife or mother of the killers and apparently that's all it takes to get away with murder in Pakistan. Barbaric.
Why post a snuff film? #10 | Posted by Dbt2
I disagree with your characterization of the video.
But in any event, something like 1,000 people a year are murdered in Pakistan for honor killings. Worldwide, that number is about 5,000 women and girls a year according to the U.N. Seems to be a significant issue to me.
I thought that the video shows the callousness with which certain segments of humanity treat the lives of their own families. Placing some idiotic notion of "honor" above the lives of their own daughter or sister.
But, since you brought it up, did you ask that same question on the videos other users here post regarding other deaths? If not, why not?
[...]I have a problem with videos showing people dying, and I don't go out of my way to see them or, naturally, promote them for a version of entertainment. I've never watched the George Floyd video, for example. I've read enough descriptions of it (hundreds?) to know what I need to know. [...] #15 | Posted by Dbt2
I saw that video. Actually affected my opinion on that cop's behavior. Some people were defending the cop saying he was dealing with an out of control 220 lb druggie. But the video showed the cop kneeling on a man's neck for nine minutes, three of those minutes during which the guy wasn't moving (and, IIRC, bystanders were pleading with the cop to stop).
Personally, I don't like to rely upon someone else's possibly biased summary when I can draw my own opinion. Particularly when our politically correct society stops reporters from stating facts the some people find distasteful.
Like when activists were claiming that Ma'Khia Bryant was the victim of police brutality. But even a glance at the video showed that she had pulled back a knife and was getting ready to cut a beach. Cops actually did what they were supposed to do to protect the life of another in that case, but the usual suspects showed up to fan the flames of racial victimization (and get themselves a piece of the government settlement money pie) even though the target of that knife was also Black.
Death penalty it is. [...] #16 | Posted by Monkeybars
Are you blatantly denying Pakistan's system of Diyat blood money? The murderer just claims that it was an accident and gets the parent's pardon, and all is forgiven. It goes something like this: "We didn't mean to murder the girl. Sure, it looked like intentional murder, but we're just really good actors. Wanted to frighten her a bit is all." Pakistan: Amend Abusive Blood Money' Laws Stop Treating Murder as a Private Matter
Worry about your own. LOL #18 | Posted by Monkeybars
Yeah, that's literally how Pakistanis, and some other Muslim nations, justify the concept of blood money. The rest of society need not concern themselves that maniacal murders are wandering the streets to kill in the name of honor or their god. Thank you for confirming.
