To add to one of the most upsetting weeks Pakistanis have seen this year, reports from a girl facing harassment and rape threats have surfaced the internet and they’re utterly disgusting.
The accused goes by the name Ibsham Zahid who has been threatening a girl named Fatima Aamir and her family since the past 4 years. Despite years of attempts at reconciliation, litigation and involvement of family members, Ibsham Zahid has continued to display his horrendous behavior. And the issue came to light after Fatima posted screenshots, voice notes and video evidence of Ibsham uttering the most vile of things for her and her family involving rape and death threats.
The story has angered the citizens and they want Ibsham to be held accountable as it’s posing a risk to Fatima and her family’s lives:

Actor Feroze Khan also took notice of the situation and has set up an Instagram page where girls can complain of any sort of harassment/blackmailing they’ve been facing at the hands of men:
Actor Osman Khalid Butt too wanted the situation to be looked at asap!

The voice recordings were disgusting:

People were calling him a potential rapist:
This person needs to be behind bars and hung publicly, just like every other person like him, with the mentality of a rapist. He’s trying to be manly, no son, you’re not manly, we’ll show you what manly really means. Spread the word all of you, Fatima will be liberated! https://t.co/sWamurvaCU

Ibsham Zahid is taking the first flight to Dubai. He's running away. Please take an action before he runs away from Pakistan. I request you all to tag all the important people under this tweet until an action is taken. Don't let him get away. 🙏🏻Retweet. #ibshamzahidbehindthebars

True that:
''Baloch kis tarah ki cast hai pata chal jaye ga'' it's always the criminals or harassers that use their ethnicity to get away with things https://t.co/5TxwPy1UVu

Agreed!

People were worried:

Every man will be held accountable:

People were upset at how the system had failed her and enabled her harasser:
This is how system fails you.
I can't imagine how this girl has survived this trauma for all this time.
That's why people don't involve police because they always work with the powerful and don't do anything.
Please realise proactive is better than reactive. https://t.co/pRA0Z869Zl— Yaser Awan (@yaserawan) September 14, 2020
