Civil society activists of Pakistan are rallying to secure justice for the six-year-old Hindu girl from the Meghwar community who was raped in the Umerkot district of Sindh last week.
The girl was found raped and tortured on a street. Her case did not get much media attention after two local journalists who reported about it were threatened by the alleged perpetrators. The Class I student was shifted from the local hospital to a larger one in Lyari on the intervention of the Deputy Speaker of Sindh Assembly.
Meanwhile, activists have started an online petition to draw attention to her case in particular and the condition of the Hindu community in general.
In a related development, a Hindu doctor was shot dead in the Mastung area of Balochistan while on his way home.
