PakMediNet Discussion Forum : Medical Education inside Pakistan : Innocent Doctor
Innocent Doctor
Some how by chance , i came across today some literature again citing Dr Shazia Khalid Case. The Innocent Lady Doctor who was raped by a ............... .
It gives me great pain to read abt her , how she is forced to leave her country, her home , her relatives, her son. Faced Harassment now living in a 12 by 12 feet room provided by the British Govt as an Asylm. She must be thinking why she became a doctor.
Does any body know what is final on this case or has it faded like rest of the million cases.

Re: Innocent Doctor
"Lahore, November 25: England has granted political asylum to Pakistan gangrape victim Dr Shazia Khalid.
The couple's application for immigration to Canada is also being processed by the Canadian authorities, reports the Daily Times, adding that it is expected to be approved in a couple of months.
Dr Shazia and her husband are also scheduled to arrive in New York at the invitation of a women's rights organisation called Equality Now, which will honour her at a ceremony on December 14.
She is also planning to travel to Florida where she will attend a ceremony hosted in her honour by Somi Ali of the Asian American Network Against Abuse of Women. A visit to Washington and the West Coast, to be arranged by Equality Now, is also on the cards.
Dr Shazia's gangrape in Balochistan sparked widespread unrest in the region. Dr Shazia herself left the country along with her husband citing threats to her life. She applied for asylum in the UK, which granted her refuge immediately, while taking up her case for asylum. She had also sought asylum in Canada."

Re: Re: Re: Innocent Doctor
Three people including an army captain, are under arrest but I don't know more than that. I haven't been following this.
But why is she running? Why not stay and fight and do something about the system. Why is she using this incident to glorify her name and get residence in UK/Canada? Making it a political case should lead to revokation of her citizenship in Pakistan. She can stay in UK/Canada/USA. All these countries are rape free, LOL

Re: Re: Re: Re: Innocent Doctor
It is a very sad aspect for all of us. She was first raped and than kept for 2 days overdosed with sedatives so that she doesnot say anything then she was "imprisioned" in a Pschiatric facility and posed as Pychopath. . Than she was recieving threats from all over for life. Is this amount of harassment by all means not enough. all these justice theories are wonderful and are only applicable as long as there is some law in the Land . When the head of the State clearly says (before any investigations are completed that PIMP army captain is innocent what can you expect in that country. She is no Gandhi to fight this battle and for whom her Mullah Father in Law or Grand Father in Law was in the process of inciting a Bunch of Extremely humane , religious (though little bit Savage) Muslim Bhais to kill her (Kari) so that this slur could be cleaned from their Clean Image.
I am extremely disappointed to read this message from an highly educated person who is saying something for some body who has undergone such a tyrany. If she was so desirous of UK or canada immigration she would have done so before what she is trying to do is find an Asylum because the land of her home land has been baned for her from the Rulers of our country.
Lats all of us say fateha for the Justice system in our country.
Clueless

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Innocent Doctor I sympathize with her plight and I consider rape an inexcusable crime but being a hard core, son of soil Punjabi, I love my ancestral land. This is an internal matter and will have to be resolved in side Pakistan. The sooner she realizes that she is being used as a pawn by some vested interests that are out there for their own publicity, the better it will be for her. The rapists are still inside Pakistan and the system will work. But when she starts to participate in this political football, then she looses the sympathy of the silent majority and that’s where she looses everything. The other rape victim (Mai) realized that after some time that she was being used by these agencies for their own publicity. She talks about migrating to Canada and perusing justice. How? I don’t think that Pakistani Government is going to allow international hoopla to dictate its internal affairs. I wish her luck.
