According to the information received, on 27 May 2014, Ms. Farzana Praveen and Mr. X were on their way to the Lahore High Court to make a statement that Ms. Praveen had married Mr. X of her own free will, after her father filed a complaint of kidnapping against Mr. X. A short distance from the High Court gate, the couple was reportedly stopped by Ms. Praveen’s father, her two brothers, three cousins, and approximately 20 other men and women. Ms. Praveen was beaten up until she fell down. One of her brothers then reportedly delivered several blows to her head with a brick, resulting in her death. Serious concern is expressed that the brutal killing of Ms. Praveen took place outside of the Lahore High Court allegedly without the intervention of police or other law enforcement officials and that, in general, gender-motivated killings of women, including killings in the name of honour, do not receive stringent punishment.
