I am not running away from the argument, I am running away from the terrible headache your grammar is giving me. Keep talking!

My bad grammar is not your problem dude. This is exactly what happens when people like you run out of argument and have no points to make and are exposed.

I think this sends a very wrong message.
Should the laws of forgiveness be allowed in such cases? I can't imagine the pressure the parents would be under

Court frees brother who confessed to killing social media star Qandeel Baloch​

Karachi (CNN)The brother of murdered social media star Qandeel Baloch has been freed by a Pakistan appeals court, three years after he was convicted of killing her for "bringing dishonor" to the family.
Baloch's murder in 2016 sparked a national outcry and promoted changes in the country's so-called 'honor killing' laws.
Waseem Baloch's lawyer, Sardar Mehmood, confirmed the acquittal with CNN Tuesday but did not provide further details. A court order has not yet been made public.


Waseem Baloch was arrested within days of the murder and confessed on video to killing his 25-year-old sister at her family home in the city of Multan in Pakistan's Punjab province. Despite his admission, he pleaded not guilty in court and in 2019 was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Pakistan's so-called 'honor killings' typically involve the murder of a woman by a relative who believes she has brought shame upon the family. At the time of Qandeel Baloch's murder, Pakistan law allowed a murder victim's family to pardon a convicted killer.
Rights activists feared this law would be used to spare Waseem Baloch.
Three months after Qandeel Baloch's death, Pakistan lawmakers responded to the public outcry and passed legislation against the controversial practice -- a landmark ruling welcomed by rights activists and lawyers.

But Waseem Baloch's acquittal Monday has outraged women's rights activists in Pakistan.
"This man who confessed of killing Qandeel, his own sister, is a free man today in the same country where Qandeel couldn't live her life freely," wrote lawyer and activist Nighat Dad on Twitter Monday.
"This is the sorry state of not so sorry State...we are sorry Qandeel. Shocked and speechless," she said.
Sanam Maher, the author of "A Woman Like Her: The Short Life of Qandeel Baloch," also expressed her anger on Instagram.
"In a society that takes great pleasure in the punishment of women who break the rules, it should come as no surprise that each suspect in this case has been acquitted," Maher said.
"After today's verdict, we may ask, who killed her? Nobody, it seems. In accepting that answer, we are all complicit in the crime of failing to protect women."

Qandeel Baloch gained both fame and notoriety in inherently conservative and patriarchal Pakistan for her bold, sassy and increasingly political social media posts.
In posts not dissimilar to the millions of posts and videos shared by 20-something social media celebrities across the Internet, she pouted into the camera, discussed hairstyles and shared cooing confessions about her celebrity crushes.
Qandeel referred to herself as a "modern day feminist" and had nearly 750,000 followers on Facebook.
But in Pakistan, her antics pushed the boundaries of what is considered acceptable.
In a confession video, Waseem Baloch said he was "proud" of killing his sister, adding that having his friends share her pictures and video clips was "too much" for him.
"I drugged her first, then I killed her," he said. "Girls are born to stay home and follow traditions. My sister never did that."

A model court in Multan on Friday sentenced Qandeel Baloch's brother Mohammad Waseem, the prime suspect in the social media star's murder case, to life imprisonment.

The rest of the suspects who were nominated in the case, including cleric Mufti Abdul Qavi, her other brother Aslam Shaheen, Haq Nawaz, Abdul Basit and Mohammad Zafar Hussain were acquitted by the court.

According to the detailed verdict for the case, the prosecution had "successfully proved its case beyond shadow of reasonable doubt through cogent, convincing and inspiring evidence against the accused for committing qatl-i-amd (wilful murder) of his sister Fouzia Ameen alias Qandeel Balouch in shape of proving his presence at the place of occurrence, in shape of judicial confession corroborated with positive results of his DNA."

"So he is held guilty of committing qatl-i-amd of his sister," the verdict added.

It stated that Waseem will be sent to Central Jail in Multan to serve his sentence.

After the verdict was announced, Mufti Qavi's supporters, who had gathered outside the court, showered him with rose petals.

Police had included Mufti Qavi's name as a suspect in the murder case of the social media celebrity on the request of her father. Qavi’s was removed from Ruet-i-Hilal Committee after "controversial" pictures of him with Qandeel Baloch had surfaced on social media. Following the controversy, Qavi had also been removed from the National Ulema Mushaikh Council.

Later, Qavi and Baloch both issued statements over the controversy and contradicted each other. The killer of Qandeel Baloch had also referred to the Mufti Qavi controversy in his confessional statement.

Speaking to the media, Waseem's lawyer said that he couldn't say anything with regards to the court as that was contempt of court. However, he said that they are ready to take the verdict to the high court.

On Thursday, Judge Imran Shafi had reserved his verdict after the prosecution and defence completed their arguments in the case.

Baloch's brother Waseem had strangled her to death in the name of 'honour' at their house in 2016. He later confessed to have killed her because she allegedly “brought dishonour to the Baloch name” with her risque videos and statements posted on social media. Her brother Shaheen had also been nominated in the case.

In August, Qandeel's parents had submitted an affidavit in court, saying they had forgiven the killers and the case against their sons should be thrown out. However, a trial court had rejected the request and proceeded with hearings against the suspects.
