Shazneen murder case
Like any other individual of this country I appreciate the High Court verdict on Shazneen murder case, which has confirmed the capital punishment of five main convicts. I have been following the proceedings of the trial from the very outset and I think in such cases exemplary punishment for the culprits will contribute considerably to reduce the rate of this sort of crimes. This unbelievably barbaric act illustrated the fact that no one is safe in a society where the prevalence of crime is ominously widespread. Anyone anywhere can become a miserable victim of violence and crime. I hope the convicts' appeal to the Supreme Court will prove ineffective as well. No one can deny the fact that it is absolutely crucial for this society to ensure the punishment of those responsible for such brutal transgressions. I am intently looking forward to the execution of the death sentences of the culprits. As a citizen I want the miscreants to be executed as soon as the law permits it. I hope in the afterlife, Shazneen's soul will find blissful tranquillity and peace in her eternal abode. I condemn the tragedy that befell her life.
