Five Pakistani Women Buried Alive in Group Honor Killing

According to human rights groups and local reports, the five women were driven away to a desert area by men belonging to the Umrani tribe. The three teenage girls were hauled out, beaten and shot. Injured, but still alive, they were thrown into a ditch. When the two older women, aged 45 and 38, protested at what was happening, they were subjected to the same treatment. "All five women were connected," said Ali Dayan Hasan of Human Rights Watch.

The killings have been defended by politicians from Baluchistan. Reacting to a female colleague's attempt to raise the issue in parliament, Israrullah Zehri said such acts were part of a "centuries-old tradition" and he would "continue to defend them".

Questions have been raised about the involvement of local politicians in the incident. The Asian Human Rights Commission said that the brother of a provincial minister was "allegedly" among the tribesmen. "There is a political connection, but it is not certain what," added Mr Hasan

The 3 girls were teenagers aged 15-16 who were killed, the 2 'elderly ladies' were their MOTHERS. The ones who killed them were their COUSINS and probably the very ones they would have been forced to marry!!! Gee i wonder why they wouldn't want to marry those shitrags !!

@mharishaneef yes, it does have to do with Islam! Islam sees a woman as a possession of her father (family) or her husband. Women are beholden to one or the other if they want to live a 'normal' life. A woman is expected to be obedient and live to serve either one of these two male entities all of her life in Islam.

those who are criticizing Islam should go and learn about islam .. the people who are doing this even don't know the kalma-e-tauheed .. its just an evil act which has nothing to do with religion ..
