A pregnant woman in Pakistan has been stoned to death by members of her family because she married a man of her choice. Farzana Parveen was killed by a mob of men, including her father, brothers and her former fiance, in front of a high court in broad daylight.
The victim, who was 3 months pregnant, was killed in front of a crowd in what was described as an “honour” killing. Farzana’s crime had been marrying Mohammad Iqbal against the wish of her family. Her father had then accused Iqbal of kidnapping and it was this case the victim was appearing for when she was killed.
Her family members tried to grab her and when she resisted she was stoned with bricks from a nearby construction site. All the culprits escaped except the victim’s father.
