Yet another honor killing. Of course, Sharia supremacists expressing opposition to education for women is nothing new. From Reuters, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
KARACHI – A Pakistani fruit vendor shot dead his sister because she had a job and was studying for a university degree, a police official in conservative North West Frontier Province said.
Naheeda Bibi, 22, was shot three times by her brother on Sunday near her village outside Mansehra city, as she went to catch a bus to return to Rawalpindi where she studied and worked.
“The brother, Gul Shahzad, has no remorse and says she defied him and her father,” local police officer Mohammad Afzal told Reuters by telephone.
“He kept on screaming after he surrendered to the police that she met the destiny willed for her by God,” he said.
