Is This A Religious Thing or Are Pakistani Men Just F *CK*D In The Head?

Pakistani Security Guard Sexually Assaults Two Sisters at School

The Nation KHANEWAL - Two minor British national Pakistani twin sisters, studying at the City Public School, were sexually assaulted by school security guard, while the school principal forcing their parents for compromise on the matter.
Father of the victims, Mian Junaid Khaliq and step-mother demanded Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Inspector General of Police, RPO, DPO and DCO Rashid Mehmood to take legal action against the responsible and the school administration for supporting the offenders. 
According to details, 6-year-old twin sisters Safa and Marwah were the student of KG class in the City Public School Khanewal, during recess, the school lady-servant (Aaya), Shamin Bibi, told both the sisters that their some relatives were waiting for them in the guard’s room of the school. When both the sisters and lady-servant reached the guard room, security guard Aftab was sitting alone there. 
Shamim Bibi, after handing over the innocent girls to the security guard, slipped out of the room and the guard started sexual torturing both the sisters. They started crying for help and both succeeded to come out from grip of the guard and managed to reach their class teacher and principal but both officials reprehensibly ignored the incident. 
The victim sisters told their step-mother about the incident at home. Next day, school principal Rubana Fahim and some teacher forced the step-mother of the victim students to compromise on the matter and not to go to police, which would effect repute of the school. While, principal Rubana Fahim said she would terminate both security guard and lady-servant. 
Mother and father of Safa and Marwah have demanded the DPO Khanewal for registering a case against the responsible. Father Junaid Khaliq has told the media that he is very disappointed with the situation, because he believed that his daughters would get Islamic education and awareness about Islamic culture in the Pakistani school but now he is sending his daughters to the UK. He warned if legal action is not taken against the responsible, he will also involve the British High Commission in Pakistan in the case. 
Principal Rubana Fahim is avoiding the media to give her version, and refused to meet newsman in her office.

Journalist Mona Eltahawy alleges sexual assault in Egypt detention



The Guardian
The US-based Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy has been released, according to her personal Twitter account, after 12 hours in detention at the hands of Cairo security forces. A later tweet from the account @monaeltahawy said that she was sexually and physically assaulted while being held inside the interior ministry in Cairo, in the early hours of Thursday morning.
A US embassy representative in Cairo told the Guardian that the reports of her detention were "very concerning" and that "US embassy consulate officers are engaging Egyptian authorities".
At 10:30am on Thursday, the former Reuters Middle East correspondent who has been lauded for her recent coverage of the Egyptian uprising, began tweeting that she had spent 12 hours in detention under the authority of interior ministry and military intelligence officials and that she had suffered a serious sexual assault by up to half a dozen members of the Egyptian security forces. She also said that she had been kept blindfolded for hours and also posted a picture of her severely bruised hand and then both her arms in casts.
She also thanked supporters after #freemona began trending around the world on Twitter.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday night, Eltahaway who is a columnist for various papers including the Toronto Star, the Jerusalem Report and Denmark's Politiken, and has also written for the Guardian, described scenes in and around Tahrir Square including news that a family friend of hers had been killed. She ended the message by damning the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf) who have control overEgypt's transition.
At approximately 11pm GMT she wrote "Pitch black, only flashing ambulance lights and air thick with gas Mohamed Mahmoud #Tahrir". At around the same time she then described the violence occurring around the gates of the American University in Cairo of which she is an alumnus.
Other journalists are also thought to have been detained on Wednesday night. Eltahawy last wrote for the Guardian on Friday about a young Egyptian female blogger who had decided to post a naked photo of herself on her blog in an act of defiance.
The 44-year-old was born in Port Said, but later lived in the UK, Saudi Arabia and Israel, settling in the US in 2000.
In 2009, the European Union awarded her its Samir Kassir prize for Freedom of the Press, and last year she was awarded the Anna Lindh Foundation's special prize for Outstanding Contribution to Journalism.
The Egyptian embassy in London has yet to comment on her detention.
