Bring Hina & Anaya's murderers to justice!

Bring Hina & Anaya's murderers to justice!

Hina and Anaya were found murdered on Tuesday 5th January 2021. Hina’s body was tortured, bloated, her face had blackened and she had been set alight to stage the scene as her death was caused by a gas-leak blast. This is the state Hina’s father found his daughter and granddaughter in, he mustered up every bit of strength he had to bury their bodies that same day (further details can be found on the below links if you can spare a few minutes to read).

This is the sad reality for women of domestic abuse in Pakistan and around the world. Society shuns them for wanting to walk away from the abuse yet when a life is taken it becomes near impossible to make sure justice is served and the perpetrators are made accountable.

What does this say to the daughters of our ummah around the globe? Are they worthless and not valuable? Is domestic abuse acceptable? Because they may not be rich or famous then justice can slide? Is giving birth to a daughter and not son shameful? And so shameful that the woman is blamed? A daughter is a blessing from Allah (swt) and to abuse that blessing in such way is incomprehensible. Allah doesn’t even overlook a harsh word or tone towards an innocent child.

Let us set an example to the rest of the world that any kind of abuse is not acceptable and there are consequences for taking a life, two lives in this case.

I am asking for support from all our brothers and sisters of the ummah, friends, acquaintances, anyone who has been/is/suffered domestic abuse or lost a loved as a result from it and can help us stand up against this injustice. Please help support Hina’s father in fighting for justice for Hina and Anaya’s murder. It becomes harder for people like Hina’s father to fight for justice without any obstruction in doing so.

All Hina’s father asks for is for the culprits to be brought to the stand to answer for their actions and the path of justice not be manipulated. Please help support Hina’s father to give him a fighting chance to obtain justice for his daughter and baby granddaughter and let him see and feel he is not alone in this fight. Not only should the culprit be brought to justice but anyone who helped cover up the crime, obstructing the course of justice.

I constantly hear of campaigns around the world when injustice is done and people rallying around to support the victims and families, this restores my faith in people. How lucky they are to have the support of others in their time of hardship whether it be through their own support network, through social media or Organisations that support criminal justice, women’s rights and human rights. Because of such campaigns, visibility and support more and more people are speaking up shunning any stigma around what some may be deemed as a ‘shameful’ or an ‘embarrassing’ situation.

Please, please share as much as you can. By also signing the petition below you can help us bring this case to light to the Pakistan Government at the highest possible level.

It says in the Quran (4:135):

"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you swerve, and if you distort justice or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do."

There is a lot we can do to help from afar (especially the countries in the West) we can share, raise awareness through social media platforms and help fundraise.

Finally my last request to you all is to keep Hina and Anaya in your prayers, keep her father and family in your prayers that they may receive justice and peace from this ordeal. Only a parent who has suffered such loss can know the loss of a child and that even after justice is served that things will never be the same for Hina’s family again, especially for her father who has to live with this for the rest of his life.

Thank you for your support!
