Good Evening,



Hope you are doing well and things are going good in your life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please sign/ comment and share this petition at maximum level because Pakistan's mega innocent girls' slaughtering case by Jirga (Kohistan Video Case) is still waiting for true justice after passing so many years.
Hurry up! Because it's not my personal matter, I have to take stand because the genuine stakeholders were not interested to solve this case fairly. 
There should be at least one million petition's signatories (as supporter) for this great humanitarian cause.
Here's the petition’s link:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please watch online our documentary film "The Kohistan Story: Killing for Honor (Girls Issue)" which has produced by Pakistan's only Oscars and Emmy Award winner, "SOC Films (Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy Films)" for "VICE News (Canada & UK); it has been released last month.

This film is solely based on my investigative story regarding Kohistan Video Case (Honor killings). I am also a part of this documentary film. 
If it appeals the international audience then most probably later on, it will be telecasted on HBO (TV Channel) as well along with other regular film screenings, etc.

Within just one month of our released documentary "The Kohistan Story: Killing for Honor" has got a huge success like it has been viewed by two and a half (2.5) Lac on YouTube & Facebook. And these digits are still growing.

Honour killing is the utmost violent expression which victims are usually females in Pakistan. There is no honour in honour killing; to kill the females in the name of honour is actually to dishonouring females. Patriarchal custom of murdering females in the name of honour is just an excuse to protect such odious crime which has been committed under the shelter of religion or culture.
I am in great favour of overcoming the so-called honour killings by making the strongest legislation. The opposition on this great legislation will only come from those misogynists and anti-feminists who believe in violence on females, considering them their slave and to kill them in the name of honour.

There are some more movies, etc on my story regarding honor killing of girls by famous Canadian filmmakers (and others) on the same subject (but different angle) are going to be released in Canada's local and International Film Festivals (Vancouver and Toronto), etc after two months (and one movie is totally based on my life as journalist/ human rights activist along with the issue of honor killings as well).

Good Afternoon, 



Hope you are doing well and things are going good in your life, the trailer of another 90 minutes feature documentary has finally unveiled from Canada now in which you can know about the Pakistan's mega, high profile and complex, Kohistan Video Case (Girls' Slaughtering for Honour by Jirga). This documentary is solely based on my investigative story.
I would like to say thanks to Brishkay (Director) and Elizabeth Sanchez (Producer) for documenting visually such a big serious issue of Pakistan which is very closed to my heart and I would also say thanks to them for acknowledging my selfless Journalism and Social Activism by adding me in their documentary for giving me credit, on global level.
Now I am quite hopeful that the world would definitely give attention to this case for fair justice and Pakistan's Government and Judiciary might take necessary honest actions to eliminate this heinous crime against innocent girls and women permanently, which has been happening in the name of honour across Pakistan from the very first day. 
According to me, Honour killing is the utmost violent expression which victims are usually females in Pakistan. There is no honour in honour killing; to kill the females in the name of honour is actually to dishonouring females. Patriarchal custom of murdering females in the name of honour is just an excuse to protect such odious crime which has been committed under the shelter of religion or culture.
I am in great favour of overcoming the so-called honour killings by making the strongest legislation. The opposition on this great legislation will only come from those misogynists and anti-feminists who believe in violence on females, considering them their slave and to kill them in the name of honour.
