Today marks one year since the tragic evening when Noor Mukadam, daughter of an ex-diplomat, was brutally murdered after physical and sexual assault by Zahir Jaffer in Islamabad.
Eventhough, 365 days have passed since the heart-wrenching moment in which the 27-year-old Noor was brutally murdered, her parents and family still waiting and demanding justice.
Recently, a video message from the mother of Noor Mukadam has been making the rounds on social media. The aforementioned video shows Noor’s mother saying,
“It will be a year after Noor separated from us on July 20,” She said she and her family and relatives knew how they have spent the last one year. “We haven’t slept at night and haven’t found comfort during the day either since our daughter left.”
Furthermore, she requested all women to gather at F9 park on Wednesday, July 20, to be by her side in remembering Noor and stand up for the safety of their daughters.

The Islamabad police arrested suspect Zahir Zakir Jaffer on the night of July 20 from his house where, according to Noor’s parents, he killed her with a sharp instrument and severed her head.
