Justice for Magdalene Ashraf

  • af: Ms. Magazine
  • mottagare: Mr. Asif Ali Zardari, Mr.Syed Mumtaz Alam Gillani, Embassy of Pakistan

On July 13, 2010, 23-year-old Magdalene Ashraf, a nurse trainee at the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center in Karachi, Pakistan, was lured to the home of a hospital doctor and brutally gang raped by three doctors before being tossed from the balcony apartment onto the street. Police made little effort to register a report, begin an investigation or apprehend two of the doctors who fled the scene. The chief culprit, Dr. Abdul Jabbar Memon, was arrested but will only be held until July 31, 2010 against the dictates of Pakistani law which lists rape as a non-bailable offense. With the double marginalization of being a women and a Catholic minority, Ashraf faces an arduous uphill battle in her fight for justice as the police have given her no protection and her lawyer has withdrawn from the case.
