A YOUNG victim of gang rape has threatened to set herself on fire in front of Pakistan’s parliament if her attackers are not brought to justice. Nazish Bhatti, 17, told journalists in Islamabad that she escaped from her abductors and fled to a police station but was raped again — by two officers.
“I prefer death over the life I’m enduring after being dishonoured,” she said.
Thousands of women are raped each year in Pakistan and many commit suicide out of shame. But some are now daring to speak out, inspired by the example of Mukhtaran Mai, a teacher who was gang-raped on the orders of a tribal council but took her case to the courts and won.
Miss Bhatti, a student and the daughter of a factory worker in the city of Sialkot in central Punjab, said she was abducted by three men as she walked to college. She said she was kept in a house for more than a month where she was repeatedly gang-raped.
The rapists also tried to kill her by forcing her to drink insecticide. She survived. But when she went to the police she was raped by two policemen. She was threatened with dire consequences if she reported the incident, but eventually went to hospital and was treated for ten days. Instead of charging the rapists, the police threatened to register a case of adultery against her.

Gun grabbing 'only the police can be trusted' and Religion of Peace rolled into 1. Nice.
That'll show 'em! NOT! I figure that there is about even chance that she will be murdered by her family for "dishonoring" their family name.
Another tale of daily life in another Muslim hell-hole.
Miss Bhatti said that she and her parents would commit suicide by setting themselves on fire if her attackers were not brought to justice within 48 hours.
Things are so desperate there that they're threatening to burn themselves alive to bring attention to the case.
Instead of charging the rapists, the police threatened to register a case of adultery against her.
These stories coming out of Pakistan should make every woman glad she lives here.

What a Disgusting Country. A Religion of Peace? Savage
has it right..."Animals in Dirty Nightshirts"
When she is tried for adultery if she badmouths the black robbed mullah he will have her hanged in public...
Even is she is only 15yrs old like one did in Iran recently
Islam is just another death cult..
those who love death hate God...the real God...
The one of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
The desert combination 'moon god and goddess' is not God...
That is so incredibly sad that a woman would have to go through that only to find that no one gave a damn. Such terrible injustice; I hope she does not kill herself though because her life is worth more than what those people did to her.
These cops used sharia law against her!?! What disgusting Koranimals.
At times like these, I wonder if their code of "honor killing" will kick in. In this case... for these rapists (and the cops), not the unfortunate victim, Nazish Bhatti.
Btw, Mukhtaran Mai.. a brave and inspirational woman:
Muslim Woman's Courage Sets Example
Why can ONLY women seem to commit adultry in the religion of piece?
Those parts of the world will never be respected nor will they go forward so long as they keep women, 50% of their population, under.
I recently encountered pictures of women being stoned to death. The women were partial buried. I think the images came from Iran.
Anyhow, prayers.
Thanks for the ping USF...I think.
This story makes me physically ill.
What is that I hear from the Left? Why, it sounds like crickets.
Hey, remember, these guys are our allies. Never mind that they were the biggest supporters of AQ and the Taliban and the population is anti-U.S. and very hardcore Islam. These are our friends and committed allies in the war on terror.
Something to do with the rules being made up by the rapist and pedophile, Muhammed (pork be upon him) who let women be used as sex slaves for the twisted pleasure of both himself and his evil followers...
Sorta makes you wonder what kind of "men" Pakistanis are.
Don't look now, the links in post #16, will make you feel worse...
Oh, riiight. Pakistani police are JUST like all the rest. Give me a break.
