Pakistan Stumbles Upon Its 'biggest' Child Abuse Case by coolestrogue(m): 3:28pm On Aug 10, 2015
Shock and anger as police discovers 400 video
recordings of more than 280 children being forced
to have sex in Punjab.
Officials in the Pakistani state of Punjab have
called for a federal inquiry into what it called the
largest-ever child abuse case in the South Asian
country's history involving nearly 300 children.
The government of Punjab state on Sunday
ordered a judicial investigation into the case that
came to light last week after discovery of about
400 video recordings of more than 280 children
being forced to have sex.
"Those involved in the case will be severely
punished. They will not be able to escape their
fate. The affected families will be provided with
justice at any cost," Chief Minister of Punjab
Shahbaz Sharif was quoted as saying by Dawn
newspaper website.
So far seven people have been reportedly
arrested by the police over the case that has
shocked the nation of 180 million.

Most of the victims were under 14, including a
six-year-old boy, Rai Babar Saeed, district police
chief of Kasur, where the incident happened, told
reporters, adding that a 10-year-old schoolgirl
was filmed being molested by a 14-year-old boy.
Videos of these assaults were filmed and
thousands of copies are believed to have been
sold in Hussain Khanwala village in Kasur district,
the police said.
One of the victims said he was injected in the
spine with a drug before he was assaulted, they
added.

Government in denial
The scale of the scandal emerged earlier this
week after the victims' parents clashed with the
police during a protest against their failure to
prosecute the men who orchestrated the scandal.
Pakistan experienced a similar tragedy in the late1990s, when 100 children were sexually abused and murdered in Lahore by Javed Iqbal Mughal, a serial killer. Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston, reporting from Islamabad, said that a gang of 25 men were involved in the crime, coordinating it. "Some of the victims' families started to speak up. This is creating a lot of controversy in Pakistan," she said. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Tahira Abdullah, a
human rights activist in Islamabad, said that the
government is "in denial" about the abuses. "I think Pakistan is failing its children," she said,
adding that the stigma about the cases, and the
lack of trust in the court system, have prevented
the arrest and persecution of abusers.
