The Public Hanging of Rapists Debate
Surviving children of Sahiwal Toll Plaza police encounter
Pakistan today is seized with the terrible, deeply disturbing rape of a young mother by 2 men on a Punjab motorway last week, with people across the nation calling for the public hanging of the rapists.

Our Prime Minister and his cabinet seem to think so, with the PM also calling for a bill to be passed for castration and public hanging of all rapists.
