Pakistani lawyers have banded together to prevent the prosecution of one of their number accused of raping and murdering a 12-year-old girl, a Christian, going so far as to issue death threats to anyone participating in the case, and physically preventing access to the court.

The case in question concerns the murder of a 12-year-old girl who worked as a maid at the Lahore household of a family of a prominent lawyer. The girl was a member of Pakistan’s frequently persecuted Christian minority.

Police judged the girl to have been beaten to death, and a local hospital reported she had received a broken arm and jaw, and that she had suffered fatal wounds to her genitals.

The family claimed she died falling down the stairs, although doctors found her corpse was already days old when first reported.

After police took members of the alleged murderer’s family into custody, the city’s lawyers banded together under the auspices of the Lahore Bar Association in order to oppose the prosecution, which they claim is a media witchhunt. The head of the accused family is a former president of this body.

The city’s lawyers attempted to stop court proceedings by forming a mob outside the court and physically restraining anyone from entering, including the girl’s family and journalists.

So intimidating were their actions that no legal counsel has dared come forth to prosecute. One Christian group reports that the lawyers even threatened to “burn alive” anyone involved in the prosecution.

Police were said to be supportive of the lawyers, even as they abused journalists, human rights organisations, minority parties and bishops.

National politicians have condemned the murder and called for justice, though apparently stopping short of intervening.

    "and they call themselves lawyers? "

    Well, there are lawyers which wish to bring justice for the innocents...and then there are those who exploit loopholes in the laws which benefit the gulities as well as their own pockets...the guys in this case are most likely the latter...

    Forming an angry mop and threatening to kill anyone who dares to oppose them is not exactly exploiting loopholes in the law.

    Usually they're off bombing either their own people, people similar to them, or people who have nothing to do with them.

    i feel like most of these post of missing the story (not enough detail) of why these things happen. There needs to be information to support the other side so people can know why people are doing this rather than making it completely one sided.

    Hoopty fuckin' DOO 'wah wah it's on the indian blah de blah''

    it is in an area referred to as the near east, but considering Afghanistan and Pakistan all spread over from the middle east, they will be included.

    so will Turkey even though it is in Europe.

    NUKE THEM ALL.

    I don't understand why the fuck they're scared by a bunch of lawyers' PHYSICAL objections.

    Get out a fucking gun and shoot close to a few of them, the whole flock probably flies off the scene. Any lawyer that's not in some weird movie would not seriously risk their own lives over something like this, and they're definitely not the most combat-ready people in the world.

    The real problem here isn't a bunch of weak fucks in business suits, it's the cops. The fact that the cops are siding with them is the most effective deterrent. Cops are at least somewhat battle-trained, and they're "on the side of the law". The fact that they're there, condoning what the lawyers are doing indicates just where the "law" is, and why it's pointless to get involved.

    Send in the Lolis!

    Just appear with an armor and a katana and you should be able to enter. I doubt they're stopping someone armed with a blade. Not sure if the police would either.

    That might work if it wasnt for the fact that "Police were said to be supportive of the lawyers, even as they abused journalists, human rights organisations, minority parties and bishops."

    The cops are the major problem in this story, they should be doin their damn jobs and showing up with riot shields, tear gas, and hoses. Launch the gas, fire up the hoses and tell those fuckers to disperse. At least that's how they deal with mobs here in the US, even ones that aren't threatening people.

    Since the US is flying Predator drones in Pakistan, why not drop one on them and "Ooops" later?

    "...fatal wounds to her genitals."

    Ass-rape doesn't cover a quarter of what she must have went through.

    They had better not get off lightly for this one...

    Once again this confirms the notations that most lawyers are scumbags, especially the Islamic lawyers.
