Two teenage sisters,
16 year old Noor Basra and 15 year old Noor Sheza (both pictured above)
were shot dead at their home in the town of Chilas, in Pakistan after a
video showing the two girls laughing and dancing in the rain was
circulated via mobile phones.
Apparently dancing with your sibling in
the rain and filming it is a crime punishable by death in the Northern
region of Gilgit. The video caused an outrage in the town and a few days
later, five men invaded the girls home and shot them dead - for - wait
for it - 'tarnishing their family's name'. Their mother was also shot dead.
The girls' step-brother, a man named Khutore, is being accused of arranging their murder because he allegedly wanted to 'restore the family's honour'. The
sisters' other brother filed a case against him and the four other
alleged accomplices who are now on the run. The police are investigating
the case.
