Letter asks CJ to reopen Kohistan video case
ISLAMABAD: Addressed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, a letter has been dispatched seeking to reopen the Kohistan video case.
The letter drafted by human rights activists Frzana Bari and journalist Hasib Khwaja, states that according to the evidence all the five girls shown in the video had been murdered, therefore, the case be reopened.
It further says that if the girls are still alive then an order be issued to produce them before the court or in case they have been killed then the culprits be punished under the law.
The cell-phone captured video had caught the media attention about one and a half year ago in which a boy is seen dancing in a room and five other girls clapping.
The Supreme Court had taken a suo motu notice of the alleged killing of the girls in the video. Led by Farzana Bari, a five-member delegation of rights activists were sent to Kohistan to ascertain whether the girls were dead or alive.
The case was dismissed after the delegation confirmed that the girls were not murdered.
