  • ‘I will get my son released based on my connections even if you register an FIR,’ says father of man accused of wife’s murder

    ‘I will get my son released based on my connections even if you register an FIR,’ says father of man accused of wife’s murder

    Residents of Hyderabad, Sindh are protesting after a 32-year-old woman, Qaratul Ain Baloch was killed by her husband on July 15.

    The hashtag ‘Justice for Qarat-ul-Ain’ has been the top trend on Twitter since Saturday night.

    As per reports, Baldia Police have arrested Omar Memon, husband of the deceased and son of former Sindh Irrigation Secretary Khalid Haider Memon, on the charge of murder and remanded him till July 22.

    The initial post-mortem report of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad showed the victim was severely tortured before being murdered.

    The report stated that the victim was choked to death, but a pathology report has not been released yet, which will determine the exact cause of death.

    Speaking to Independent Urdu, the victim’s brother, Sanaullah Baloch said, “Looking at the post-mortem report and the condition of my sister’s body, I thought, how can a person do such violence to another person?”

    “After this incident, I now think that I should not marry my daughters. The daughters are not a burden to hand them over to beasts.”

    He said that her sister had been beaten several times by her husband over the past 10 years and that he had reported him to the police for domestic violence. He had also been arrested once but the family did not file for divorce due to societal pressure.


    “Now people ask why we did not ask for a divorce when there was violence. But no one asks the sister’s father-in-law that why was he quiet when he knew that his son used to abuse his wife so much.”

    Sanaullah Baloch claimed that after the murder, the attitude of the police was intolerable when he contacted the police to register an FIR. The police made him believe that they were trying to register a false FIR.

    He said that his sister’s father-in-law Khalid Haider Memon said that I will get my son released based on my connections even if you register an FIR.
    “I do not think we can get justice in this country. I am grateful to the civil society for helping us in registering the case but I do not know whether justice will be served or not.”

    Speaking to Independent Urdu, Saima, lawyer of accused Omar Memon, said: “There is no truth in the statement of Sanaullah Baloch that Khalid Haider Memon came home and said that he will get his son released.”

    According to the lawyer: “The FIR that has been lodged states domestic violence but it does not appear that the murder was due to violence.

    “Every wife and husband fight these days. She may have slipped which caused her death, but we can only draw conclusions after a final police investigation.”

    Hyderabad City ASP Alina Rajpar, who is investigating the case, said, “Police registered an FIR with the consent of the victim’s family. Everything they said was written in the complaint.”

    A few hours after the FIR was filed, the police arrested the suspect.

  • Domestic violence surges in England after a football match ends: Study

    The National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV) UK, which provides a free, fast emergency injunction service to survivors of domestic abuse, reported that incidents of domestic violence in England increase during major sporting events.

    “Not everyone is looking froward to the match tonight, Instances of domestic abuse increase 26% when England play and 38% if they lose,” the tweet said.

    A study in 2014 by academics at Lancaster University looked at the number of reports of abuse to a police force in the north-west of England during three football World Cups. They found that such reports increased by 26 per cent when the national team won or drew, and by 38 per cent when the team lost (other studies suggest abuse is worse when England wins). A new study, published on July 4, goes much further. Ria Ivandic, Tom Kirchmaier and Neus Torres-Blas of the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) have analysed 523,546 domestic-abuse incidents reported to the Greater Manchester Police between 2012 and 2019, alongside detailed information on 780 games played by Manchester City and Manchester United in that period. They have been able to disentangle why intimate partner violence increases after games and to create a timeline of when women are most at risk.

    Research from the London School of Economics’ Centre for Economic Performance indicated a match increased the risk of family violence.

    The study suggested that although domestic abuse declined during the two-hour period when a game is played, it started to increase afterwards and peaked between 10 and 12 hours later.

    Meanwhile, a study released in Australia also found out the link between the major sporting events and domestic violence. The study revealed that domestic violence increased 40.7 per cent in New South Wales on State of Origin game days.

    On July 11, England and and Italy faced each other in Euro Cup Final 2020, which was considered as one of the biggest games in the world of sports. Italy defeated England to become champions of Europe again, for the first time since 1968, breaking English hearts in the process at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

    Adviser to the Prime Minister on Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan has written a letter to Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser suggesting that the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Bill 2021 should be sent to the Council of Islamic Ideology to check if the proposed law is or is not “repugnant to the Injunctions of Islam”.

    Journalist Ansar Abbasi shared the news on Twitter and congratulated Prime Minister Imran Khan for this step.

    Speaking on Geo News programme ‘Naya Pakistan’, Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari had asked, “Can someone tell me which clause in the bill is against our religion?”

    “This law is not only for women but men can also file a case using it,” Mazari added.

    Senate passed two key government bills related to human rights last month, which include the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Bill 2021 and the Islamabad Capital Territory Senior Citizens Bill 2021.

    Analyst Ansar Abbasi took to his Twitter account to oppose the bill.
