LAHORE – Civil liberty activist, lawyer, and blogger Jibran Nasir appealed for Khurram Shehzad Victor of Sialkot who has been sitting outside Lahore Press Club (LPC) since three months with his five daughters protesting against lack of action by the Punjab government and the police against culprits who sexually abused three of his daughters and has abducted one of them.
Khurram Shehzad Victor, a resident of Haji Pura area in Sialkot district and father of three sexually abused minor girls, has been protesting along with his daughters on a footpath outside the Lahore Press Club after spending four months on roads in Islamabad, seeking justice.
Victor said that his three daughters were subjected to sexual assault by his relatives while he was working in a factory.
He stated that in April 2017, an FIR was lodged against the accused leading to their arrest, but they were later set free by the police. He also accused his relatives of kidnapping one of his daughters to blackmail him to prevent him from pursuing justice.
In an appeal to the Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Victor requested that his case should be given the same importance as the recent incident in Kasur where an eight-year-old girl was raped, murdered and left in a dumpster.
Those accused include Victor’s brother, cousin and brother’s son. He alleged that the police officials had been forcing him to withdraw the case, but said he would continue his silent protest until justice was served. Victor had earlier protested outside the Islamabad Press Club for four months before coming to Lahore, but to no avail.
