A US national has been sentenced to death for raping and beheading a diplomat's daughter after she rejected his marriage proposal.

Zahir Jaffer, the son of one of the richest families in Pakistan, brutally murdered Noor Muqaddam, 27, at his home in Islamabad on July 20, 2021.

Security camera footage showed Mukadam, the daughter of a former ambassador, had made repeated attempts to escape the sprawling mansion but was blocked by two members Jaffer's staff.

That footage has been released to the public, and shows Muqaddam trying to flee the compound through a large gate, but being stopped by the staff.

CCTV footage then shows her being dragged by her arm along the floor by a man, through a door and back into the property.

The court heard that the 30-year-old Pakistani-American tortured her with a knuckleduster, raped her, and used a 'sharp-edged weapon' to behead her.

'The main accused has been awarded the death sentence,' said judge Atta Rabbani at the Islamabad district court.

Jaffer's parents, Zakir Jaffer and Asmat Adamjee, were found not guilty of attempting to cover up the crime.

The two staff members were sentenced to 10 years in prison for abetting murder.

'I am happy that justice has been served,' said Shuakat Mukadam, Noor's father, while pledging to challenge the acquittal of Jaffer's parents.

The case prompted an explosive reaction from women's rights campaigners reckoning with the pervasion of violence against women.

The shocking nature of the murder, involving a couple from the privileged elite of Pakistani society, led to pressure for the trial to conclude swiftly in a country where the justice system is notoriously sluggish and cases typically drag on for years. 

According to the Asma Jahangir Legal Aid Cell, a group providing legal assistance to vulnerable women, the conviction rate for cases of violence against them is lower than three percent.

Targets of sexual and domestic abuse are often too afraid to speak out, and criminal complaints frequently not investigated seriously.

'Convictions have been dismally low for victims... making today's guilty verdict all the more significant,' said Amnesty International South Asia campaigner Rimmel Mohydin.

The court verdict dictates Jaffer be 'hanged by his neck till he is dead', however he was also given a concurrent sentence of 25 years in prison for abduction and rape.

He will also be able to challenge Thursday's verdict.

According to local reports, Jaffer belongs to a high-society family in Pakistan who founded a trading company in 1849 - Ahmed Jaffer and Company.

His father, Zakir, serves as a director of the company, according to his profile on LinkedIn. Jaffer's mother Asmat is reportedly a housewife. 

Executions have rarely been carried out in Pakistan in recent years - and usually only involving terrorism cases - in part due to pressure from the European Union.

The last was in December 2019, according to the Justice Project Pakistan, making it likely Jaffer will only serve jail time, with remissions for religious holidays and good behaviour.

Jaffer was thrown out of court several times during the trial for unruly behaviour.

He was frequently carried into proceedings by stretcher or wheelchair, and his lawyers argued he should be found not 'mentally sound' - a manoeuvre prosecutors said was designed to have the trial suspended.

At one hearing he claimed someone else had killed Mukadam during a 'drug party' at his house.

When questioning Mukadam's father - a former ambassador to South Korea and Kazakhstan - Jaffer's lawyer implied she was killed by her own family for conducting a relationship outside of marriage.

Prosecutions for violence and sexual assault frequently see the female victim's personal history picked over according to Pakistan's patriarchal mores - another reason why justice is rare for women.

According to a recent report by Human Rights Watch on Pakistan, 'Violence against women and girls – including rape, murder, acid attacks, domestic violence, and forced marriage – is endemic throughout Pakistan. Human rights defenders estimate that roughly 1,000 women are killed in so-called 'honour' killings every year.'

Very tragic incident. This was the victim Noor Muqaddam, holding a placard at the Pakistan Aurat March.image.png.708ddc885de9be2c702ff5e85450c38b.png 

Aurat March is an annual socio-political demonstration in Pakistani cities such as Lahore, Peshawar and Karachi. The march calls for greater accountability for violence against women and supports women who experience violence and harassment at the hands of security forces, in public spaces, at home, and in the workplace. 

The Aurat March receives backlash from conservative Islamic Pakistanis. 

According to Pakistan's minister for religious affairs and interfaith harmony (Noorul Haq Qadri) Islamic societies are the best in protecting women’s rights, Qadri says Aurat March banners, placards and slogans do not match with the Pakistan's social, political and religious standard imbibed in the collective thought of the Pakistani people, and that individual or civil society participating in Aurat March ought not to get leeway to undermine the religious injunctions and instead Aurat March be celebrated as Hijab day to focus discrimination by Hindu extremists (sic) against Muslim minorities in India.

There has to be a halfway house between dehumanising Islamic practices towards women and the complete Western moral degeneracy masquerading as liberation for womankind.

.

Surely this is it. Maybe it's like those canadian pendu brothers who've sudden got economic freedom and money and don't know what to do with it? 

Black women are on the right track with 'womenism' which tries to address female issues without all the wanton degeneracy associated with the white mainstream version. Sikh females need to do the same. And most Sikh females want a man (apart from proper, hardcore lesbos) despite any frothing at the mouth from them.      

  

Quote


Women have proven over the past 60-70 years that when they've been vested with the beginnings of so-called freedom and responsibility, they end up destroying themselves, and then crying victim when the illusions they were sold continue to be proven as falsehoods 

 

If broads don't twig onto how they are being mugged off, they deserve what they get. But then you can say the same about our blokes who get co-opted by the white man agenda.

Sikhi would be a good alternative for some of them if they wanted a change. And it's been said before here that given the cultural connections, Pakistanis who are not happy could get into Sikhi easily. 

I think some intelligent sisters will explore and open up a good, strong Sikhi based female identity soon. Unless they are ALL chaitrio pakyaan type fudhnis?

A problem with what I suggested that would make us cautious, is that a minority of any such 'converts' could be agents in disguise
