Pakistan police on Friday said a father shot dead his daughter after she refused to delete her account on popular video-sharing app TikTok.
In the Muslim-majority country, women can be subjected to violence by family members for not following strict rules on how to behave in public, including in online spaces.
“The girl’s father had asked her to delete her TikTok account. On refusal, he killed her,” a police spokesperson told AFP.
According to a police report shared with AFP, investigators said the father killed his 16-year-old daughter on Tuesday “for honor.” He was subsequently arrested.
They call it “honour killings” but it sure is a disgrace…
Honour is just their excuse, of course - it’s really just about controlling women. These weak fuckers feel their control slipping and their go-to is murder.
Im glad i live somewhere civilized and that could n-
…shit.
Anyone who can do that to their daughter on a whim, I simpy can’t see as human.
