Early in 2017 the government decided that the solution to Pakistan’s inefficient, politicized, and backlogged judicial system, which has over a million cases still waiting to be decided on, was to provide constitutional cover to Pakistan’s centuries old jirga system, a tribal (primitive) system of justice.
The government believes the jirgas will offer swift and speedy justice to those who are marginalized, poor, and unable to access formal justice.
Jirgas operate on centuries-old codes of honor and their tribal code considers women to be property (as Islamic values teach). It was a jirga that decided in 2002 that a young innocent girl was to be gang-raped as recompense for a sexual assault committed an other member of her family.
It was also a jirga that ruled that two teenage lovers, Bakht Jan, 15, and her boyfriend Rehman, 17, were to be electrocuted to death for bringing dishonor to their community.
Last year jirga law give the verdict it was ok to gang rape of a teenage girl in a revenge for a crime committed by her brother in central Pakistan.
This was the verdict of a council of village elders who ordered the rape of the 16-year-old victim after her brother was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl.
This post is about this medieval Jirga law being practiced in “modern day” Pakistan, I won’t even discuss about the blasphemy laws there which have many people on death row at this very moment!!!!
These are Barbaric bastards of the highest order yet the U.K. still hands over millions of pounds to Pakistan in aid £300 million each year to this country which even now has its own space program!!!!! We should not give them a penny and boycott going there for tourism and the UN should place an embargo until this shit pit starts practicing human rights!!!
