Pakistan police on Friday said a father shot dead his daughter after she refused to delete her account on popular video-sharing app TikTok.

In the Muslim-majority country, women can be subjected to violence by family members for not following strict rules on how to behave in public, including in online spaces.

“The girl’s father had asked her to delete her TikTok account. On refusal, he killed her,” a police spokesperson told AFP.

According to a police report shared with AFP, investigators said the father killed his 16-year-old daughter on Tuesday “for honor.” He was subsequently arrested.

    When I think of somebody as a parent I tend to subconsciously assign them the traits of a loving, caring and well-meaning adult even if their actions are less than perfect. But in reality, any psychopath with functional sex organs can be a parent.

      Yeah, this is proven by the ultra Christian types who lets their kids die “because it’s what god wants”, or the abusive parents, or the ones who are absent 99% of the time, or the ones who leave their kids in the car to do dumb shit, and on and on.

    She probably thought it was toss up to be murdered immediately and quickly or suffer a slow death by daily anti-women injustices. She was dead anyway for simply having a brain as well as a vagina.

    Doesn’t anyone find the recent uptick in articles about Islamic fundamentalist crimes odd? There are billions of people in the world and these sorts of things happen frequently, yet they rarely receive non-local news coverage. It seems to me like the media is capitalizing on rising Islamophobia (due to the escalating conflicts in the Middle East) by releasing sensational articles about Islamic extremism, which has the effect of drumming up more Islamophobic hate. When crimes like this are committed in the US by Christians the media tends to blame mental illness.

      Can also be repeated with LGBTQ. People will pontificate about these cultures oppressing them even as rights are eroding here in the U.S.

    Media needs to give a new term to the concept of Pakistani “honor”. Governments are afraid to touch it. Probably for fear of being victims of ‘honor’ killings.

      Exactly, Australia did this. We used to call hidden punches from the side “king hits”, and now they are called “coward punches”, which is far more appropriate. In the same way that Australian men who do it are absolute cowards, these family members who kill their daughters are absolute filth of humanity.

      I don’t know the appropriate term, but it has to be changed.

        Yep, unfortunately, media have the right to be afraid following the Charlie Hebdo nonsense, here are some examples of criticisng Islam:

        • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Rushdie - Now Sir. a man who wrote some books Islamists didn’t like. So they threatened to kill him. A fatwa. Multi-million pound bounty and a failed assassination attempt. All because of a book. All through the 80s he was in hiding, covered by the police, paid for by the tax payer. When he emerged from hiding like in the 90s or so, everything had died down and was cool, yes? Nope, he got attacked by a guy with a knife and he lost an eye in 2022 in NY. Read this, it states “a man has been charged”, it (cowardly?) failed to mention that the 24 yo man was a Muslim with ties to Lebanon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabbing_of_Salman_Rushdie
        • Charlie Hebdo - a French magazine was raided and people there were shot by two young Muslim men who killed 12 and injured 11. “It published cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 2012, forcing France to temporarily close embassies and schools in more than 20 countries amid fears of reprisals.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hebdo_shooting. More Muslim-led violence continued after the Charlie Hebdo raid where jews were targeted and killed. Most of the muslims involved were unfortunately killed (so they think they go to a heaven, full of virgins or something… is that meant to be appealing to young men? - Islam knows how to market itself to an audience of rapist men)
        • 2020, A French teacher beheaded for showing his students the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. Yes, beheaded and disemboweled. Not by the French peasants for a revolution, but by a former 18yo Muslim student who was shown such pictures in a lesson on free speech. https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20211015-france-honours-quiet-hero-teacher-killed-for-showing-prophet-mohammed-cartoon - It was seen as “an attack on the core values drilled by teachers into generations of schoolchildren, including the separation of church and state and the right to blaspheme.”

        Well in this case it would have been a 16 year old girl against an adult man with a gun.

        Not the best chances for self defense.

          Some chance is better than none. If a dude was pointing a gun at me, fully intending to blow my head off, I’d fight him with my bare fists if I had to.

          Oh, and adrenaline is a powerful thing. Eye and throat are excellent targets in a fight to the death, and any weapon you can get your hands on is allowed.

        I think it’s just less talked about because it seems to be going on so far from most English speaking places.

        I’m not super familiar on any details, but of course there is a wiki for Buddism and Violence and there is plenty of current day stuff going on.

        People are always going to eventually act their worst when enough refuse to back down on their personal beliefs, no matter their religion, or lack thereof for that matter. It’s sad seeing all the discrimination in the comments.

    Must have been one of those fanatic atheists again, right? They are evil and probably worship Satan. /s
