AN EXCLUSIVE REPORT FOR http://www.siasat.pk by [email protected],MODREN TALIBANS seems to be suspicious for all KAROO KARI killings,READ BELOW :o ..WE ALL MUST CONDEMN IT ,WHY MEDIA IS QUIET AND SILENT ABOUT IT
Karoo Kari is a compound word literally meaning "black male" and "black female," metaphoric terms for adulterer and adulteress. Being so labelled leads more often than not to the murder of both man and woman allegedly guilty of having an illicit affair. This is especially true in the rural areas of the southern province of Sindh. In other parts of the country, women are more likely to be accused of sexual improprieties and murdered in order to wash the sullied family honour.
Official data recently published by the Pakistani Senate show that
more than 4,000 people died in the last 6 years as result of Karoo Kari.
Of the victims almost 2,800 were women and just over 1,300 were men.
Thus twice as many women as men lose their lives to this most barbaric social custom.
The data show that the highest numbers of Karoo Kari killings were perpetrated in Punjab province
Followed by Sindh, the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), and the south-western province of Baluchistan. Some non governmental and media sources suggest that prior to 1998 Sindh topped the list.
Of the 2,774 murdered women,
1,578 were killed in Punjab,
751 in Sindh,
260 in NWFP and
185 in Baluchistan.
Of the 1,327 murdered men,
675 were killed in Punjab,
348 in Sindh,
188 in NWFP and
116 in Baluchistan
