Pakistani police arrest brother of slain model

Ms Baloch, whose real name was Fouzia Azeem, was buried on Sunday morning in her ancestral village near Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab province.

Baloch shot to fame in Pakistan in 2014 after a video of her pouting at the camera and asking “How em looking?” went viral.

Baloch “was a Pakistani woman and deserved the right to life”. She cultivated an outrageous public persona, recently promising to perform a public striptease if the Pakistani cricket team won a major tournament. He was rebuked by Pakistan’s religious affairs ministry. “He had serious reservations regarding her pictures being circulated on social media”, Muhammad Azeem told reporters.

Earlier, he confessed to killing her and expressed no remorse for the crime.

According to the FIR, Qandeel’s father told the police that his son Waseem strangled Qandeel Baloch to death.

Waseem had been threatening Qandeel over her FB posts and videos.

“She was on the ground floor while our parents were asleep on the rooftop“. “It was around 10:45 pm when I gave her a tablet… and then killed her”. “I have no regret on what I did”, he said.

The killers often walk free because of a law that allows relatives of the victim to forgive the murderer. He said that the suspect killed her “for honour” and fled to Dera Ghazi Khan.

Khloe Kardashian weighed in with her thoughts on Saturday, July 16, tweeting: “We must stand up for one another and for justice”.

Baloch called herself as a leading exponent of girl power and a “modern day feminist”.

“She was killed because patriarchal structures sustain unequal gender relations with both men and women believing that violence against women is unremarkable, ordinary, and even deserved”. I need not to choose what type of women should be.

She was a divisive figure in conservative Pakistan but had hundreds of thousands of fans on Facebook and regularly appeared on television shows and in news interviews.

Honor killing is commonplace in many cultures.
