The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Pakistani citizens expressed their shock and dismay on social media in reaction to the recent news that the killer of a beloved social media star may soon be released from prison. Muhammed Waseem, a Pakistani man, murdered his sister, Qandeel Baloch, in 2016, resulting in him being sentenced to life in prison. Qandeel was known as the “Kim Kardashian of Pakistan'' as she lived by her own terms and stood against the patriarchal nature of Pakistan. Waseem said he murdered his sister because of her "intolerable behavior," and the dishonor she brought to the family. Recently, Waseem’s parents appealed to Pakistan's court for his release. Pakistan's Islamic laws allow pardon for a convicted murderer if the victim's family forgives the perpetrator. Women's rights advocates and activists in Pakistan are distraught over the impending acquittal. In the same year of the murder, Pakistani lawmakers passed a law intended to close the loophole that allows perpetrators to bypass penalties. The court, however, pointed out that the “Anti-Honor Killing Laws” were passed months after Baloch’s murder and, therefore, can not be retroactively applied to her case. Waseem's expected release date has not yet been made public.
