In Pakistan, authorities have taken a rare stand against an honor killing of a famous female blogger. Twenty-six-year-old social media blogger Qandeel Baloch was strangled to death last week by her brother, Waseem Azeem. Baloch had nearly 750,000 followers on Facebook, who loved her funny, flirty and increasingly political social media posts. She has said that she wanted to inspire other women, and she called herself a “modern day feminist.” In Pakistan, a family can “forgive” the perpetrator of an honor killing so that he can avoid prosecution. But the Pakistani government has forbidden Baloch’s family from legally “forgiving” her brother for the murder, opening up the possibility he will be charged in her death.
