ICC Note:
A Christian family in Pakistan has claimed that police are refusing to investigate the murder of their 12-year-old daughter who was found drowned in a canal in eastern Pakistan. According to reports, the police claim that the 12-year-old committed suicide after suffering depression, something the family ardently refutes. The family claims their daughter was drugged, raped, and then drowned based on evidence at the scene.
