Amina Bibi
Amina Bibi, an 18-year-old Pakistani victim of gang rape, doused herself with petrol and set herself on fire on 15th March 2014 after one of the suspects of the case was released from the police station. She was raped by five men while walking home from her college on 5 January. Her brother was present at the scene but was unable to do anything because the five men were armed with guns.
After Amina's death, the suspect was arrested again and the officer in charge of the case was suspended. The Human Rights of Pakistan released a statement saying that, “It will make little difference to the girl that the main accused was rearrested along with the investigating officer later on Thursday. Unfortunately, this tragic incident would only discourage victims of sexual violence from trying to get justice."
