Report: 2 Girls Killed by Stepbrother in Pakistan for Dancing in Rain

Local reports suggest that two teenage girls in Pakistan were shot to death in an honor killing for supposedly dancing in the rain. News 24 Online states that Noor Basra, 16, and Noor Sheza, 15, were shot by a group of men in an attack coordinated by their stepbrother after they posted an online video of themselves dancing in the rain.

“Elders in the town raised objections on the character of these girls,” said human rights activist Atiya Jehan. “When the footage was circulated via mobile phones, it caused outrage in the conservative Pakistani town.”
