Pakistan: Morgue refuses to keep transgender’s body as its ‘freezers will get dirty’

Oct 23, 2017 10:21 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A morgue in Peshawar has refused to keep the body of a transgender person who was found murdered in the Darmangi area.

“The government contractor has also refused to bury the body.” Although the morgue said that its “freezers will get dirty” because the body is “too decomposed,” that is an obvious lie, as he was murdered earlier that day.

The transgendered community and gays suffer routine discrimination and violence in Pakistan. In fact, life for the LGBT community in Islamic states is a daily horror. Members of this community have no rights and Islamic preachers routinely call for their punishment and execution. Several months ago, two transgender Pakistanis were tortured to death in Saudi Arabia. In the Pashawar area:

This is the 53rd transgender person killed since 2015 and we have around 300 cases of violence against transgender persons on record including rape, gang rape, kidnapping and torture.

The body of this latest victim of torture and murder — which the morgue in Pashawar refuses to bury — will be handed over to the Edhi Foundation for burial. The foundation is a global non-political, non-discriminatory social welfare service provider that also operates in Pakistan.

This abhorrent targeting of human beings for their differences should never be tolerated, but to call it out when such abuse is widely advocated for and even preached by Muslim clerics earns one the reputation of being “Islamophobic”.

“Morgue refuses to keep transgender’s body as its ‘freezers will get dirty’”, by Riaz Ahmad, Express Tribune, October 21, 2017:

PESHAWAR: The management of the Khyber Medical College (KMC) morgue in Peshawar has refused to keep the body of a transgender person who was found murdered in the Darmangi area on Saturday.

“They [management] have told us that the body is too decomposed and it would make their freezers dirty,” transgender rights activist Qamar Naseem told The Express Tribune.

“Not only that, the government contractor has also refused to bury the body,” he added.

It’s extremely shameful the way a human’s body is being treated.”

The activist said the body was now being handed over to the Edhi Foundation for burial.

“We had asked the morgue’s management to keep the body for just one night and they even refused to do that,” Naseem maintained.

The morgue at the KMC is the only such facility in the entire province.

The body of Arif alias Wara was found in the Ashiqabad area earlier in the day.

A police official told The Express Tribune that there were torture marks on the body and the throat was slit. The body was sent to the KMC for an autopsy.

Tamure Kamal, a rights activist, hit out at the police and government for their failure to provide protection to the transgender community.

“This is the 53rd transgender person killed since 2015 and we have around 300 cases of violence against transgender persons on record including rape, gang rape, kidnapping and torture………

    Sexual identity activists will ignore this because they believe Muslims have been rendered incapable of acting in a civilized way due to something done to them by white, male, Western, non-Muslims. In other words they view Muslims as irresponsible children, which makes them “racists” (by their own warped definition of racism).
