Five Women Buried Alive in Pakistan for Defying the Community Over Marriage
The incident apparently took at place in Baba Kot, 80 kilometers away from Usta Mohammad city of Jafferabad district, a remote area of Balochistan province.
The younger brother of a senior leader of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party had orchestrated the atrocity, charges the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC).
The five women buried were Ms. Fatima, wife of Umeed Ali Umrani, Jannat Bibi, wife of Qaiser Khan, Fauzia, daughter of Ata Mohammad Umrani, and two other girls, aged between 16 to 18 years. They were at the house of Chandio at Baba Kot village and to leave for a civil court at Usta Mohammad, district Jafarabad, so that three of the girls could marry the men of their choice.
Their decision to have marriage in court angered the elders of the Umrani tribe, mainly concentrated in the Jafarabad and Naseerabad districts of Balochistan province, 300 kilometers from Quetta city, the provincial capital.
Abdul Sattar Umrani, a brother of Sadiq Umrani, the provincial minister for housing and construction, took the lead to squelch the move of the bold women. He arrived at the house where they were staying with more than six persons and abducted them at gun point. They were taken in a Land Cruiser jeep, bearing a registration number plate of the Balochistan government, to another remote area, Nau Abadi, in the vicinity of Baba Kot, the AHRC has found out.
