How can any sane and humane person stop his tears after seeing the victim of a brutal gang rape collecting the dead body of her younger brother who was killed in search of justice? Sabir Soomro was first arrested a couple of months ago by the local police on fabricated charges in order to silence his family, who had been clamouring for justice. This incident has completely shattered my confidence in the law and law enforcement agencies, especially the police. Kainat Soomro has not lost heart; rather she has remained steadfast in her quest for justice. Is there no one to wipe the tears of that sorrow-stricken girl? Has the home minister of Sindh spared a moment’s time from his fiery political statements to listen to her cries? If she is not provided with justice and those who have inflicted pain upon her are not prosecuted, the confidence of even those who are optimistic about the system would shatter.
