Innocent Zainab body was found from “Shehbaz” Road – Qasur – yesterday – a name which CM Punjab Shehbaz Sharif can either turn into a fearsome analogy for future or merely another hoodwink…. #JusticeForZainab #LetItBeLast #LastCaseNotLostCase

Lanat on all the people blaming Zainab’s parents. Our children should be able to play on streets, go to friends or schools unaccompanied. Why blaming the victim to hide your incompetence in providing a secure environment. #JusticeForZainab

The sad reality is that Zainab could be anyone. It could be your sister, your wife, your daughter, or even your mother. It’s time we stand as a nation and set an example. It’s now or never. #JusticeForZainab

I personally think #JusticeForZainab should be a worldwide issue to curb down the menancing issue of these sexual predators, who time and time again challenge our existence as humans first!
Even capital punishment is less, aavam what do you think? pic.twitter.com/rJcRIC9B9S— Shafqat Amanat Ali (@ShafqatAmanatA) January 11, 2018
Zainab went missing on her way to a Koran recital. Her body was found about 2km from her home.
However, Zainab’s family say the police did not take action after they reported her disappearance and it was relatives who recovered CCTV footage of Zainab’s movements before she disappeared, not the police.
We hope justice will be served so that we save childhood of these kids.
