Two teenage sisters, 16 year old Noor
Basra and 15 year old Noor Sheza (both
pictured above) were shot dead at their
home in the town of Chilas, in Pakistan
after a video showing the two girls
laughing and dancing in the rain was
circulated via mobile phones.
Apparently dancing with your sibling in
the rain and filming it is a crime
punishable by death in the Northern
region of Gilgit. The video caused an
outrage in the town and a few days later,
five men invaded the girls home and shot
them dead - for - wait for it - 'tarnishing
their family's name'. Their mother was
also shot dead.
The girls' step-brother, a man named
Khutore, is being accused of arranging
their murder because he allegedly wanted
to 'restore the family's honour'. The
sisters' other brother filed a case against
him and the four other alleged
accomplices who are now on the run. The
police are investigating the case
