Abid Malhi and Shafqat Ali were convicted of gang rape, kidnapping, robbery and terrorism offences back in March 2021 over the attack on the Sialkot-Lahore Motorway.
The BBC article is from 2021, when the original verdict was made. The Daily Mail update here is just saying that the appeal failed and the death sentence is confirmed.
The Daily Mail is sensationalist, but they didn’t make this up
Ya ok but there are probably 100 other incidents of gang rape at the same time that they completely ignored because the perpetrator werent brown… those stories didnt fit their agenda I guess
Daily Mail? If there’s no better source, it didn’t happen to me.
BBC good enough?

That they choose to report on it at all is not because it’s newsworthy, but because they want to stoke tensions.
thank you! AOL is a news aggregator and it’s just mirroring The Mirror here, another illrepute sensationalist tabloid, but dawn and figaro seem good
