Dear Chief Justice,

I'm one of the many people who stood for justice for Shahzeb Khan. I cannot tell you how glad I'm that you took notice of the case and issued a Suo moto. It's only because of you that we all believe Shahzeb Khan will get justice now.

Do you know there is a group of religious extremists who believe they will be rewarded with Jannat for killing Shias and they have claimed lives of countless shias? Do you know about the twin brothers who were gunned down in Liyari recently? Well few individuals did share their picture on facebook but there wasn't any page created. Also it didn't turn into a trend on twitter so how would you know. You know there have been silent peaceful protests against shia genocide as well but again media didn't really cover the event so how would you know. And all the Shia killings are out of the news in a day or two. How can one expect you to take notice when the crime is not even turned into a hype?

Religious extremism has claimed more lives than feudalism but if only you knew. Or maybe the intensity of the crime increases when it's prominent on social media. I'm not a shia but anyone can die in this city. I hope someone will make a facebook page and tweet about me if I get murdered so that you get to know and might take an action.

The murder of Shahzeb Khan and rape of Damini are two recent incidents which provoked everyone to fight for justice. It's good to see everyone such active part to ensure justice, what's sad are the basis of which justice is being claimed.

If murderers of Shahzeb Khan must be punished, because 'You can be next Shahzeb Khan' then should Shia genocide continue because you can't be a victim if you're not a Shia? Is that what explains our silence over Shia killings? A murder is a murder, whether it's by feudal lords or religious extremists, the intensity of the crime remains same. Punish the murderers of Shahzeb Khan, Shias killed and every other person murdered because everyone has a right to life and depriving anyone of it is a crime.

About the rape case.. you see everyone urging people to respect women because they're mothers, daughters and sisters. If you don't respect any men because they're fathers, sons and husbands to someone then why do you need reasons like these to respect women? I am a woman and I forbid you to respect me because I'm someone's daughter or sister. Respect me because I'm a human; I earn my right to be respected by the virtue of being a human. The problem arises when you fail to see a woman independent of a man. Women are not an object of men's pleasure and their only identity is not their relation to men. Women are 'humans' before they're anyone's mother or sister.
