A police officer clears way for a convoy of an anti-terrorism court judge Arshad Hussain Butta arriving at district jail, where the special court setup for the trial of prime suspects in motorway gang-rape case, in Lahore, Pakistan, Saturday, Mar 20, 2021. LAHORE: A Pakistani court sentenced two men to death on Saturday for the gang rape of a woman in front of her children last year alongside a motorway in the eastern city of Lahore, a prosecutor said.
They were tracked down via mobile phone data, Asghar added, and arrested days after the incident. DNA samples taken from the crime scene matched thiers. The survivor identified the two men during the hearing, and Ali confessed to the crime before a magistrate. Rights campaigners also called for an end to a culture that they say regularly blames victims of sexual assault. After the rape in September, one senior police official publicly questioned why the woman had been driving alone at night with her children.
