QUETTA: A video statement by the mother of Bano<\/a>, a woman who was killed in the name of honor in the Degari area of Quetta district of Balochistan, has surfaced, in which she has called her daughter\u2019s murder a \u201cpunishment\u201d and called it part of Balochi customs and traditions.<\/p>\n

In the video statement, Bano\u2019s mother<\/a> claimed that her daughter was punished after the decision of a Balochi social jirga for her relationship with a boy.<\/p>\n

She said that the boy used to make TikTok videos every day, which made her sons angry. She said that her daughter Bano was a mother of five children and her eldest son is 16 years old.<\/p>\n

In the statement, the mother of the victim said, \u201cOur people did not take any illegal decision; this decision was taken under Balochi customs and traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that Sardar Sherbaz Satakzai had no role in this decision, and the decision taken in the jirga was not with her but in the Balochi jirga.<\/p>\n

She appealed that the arrested people, including Sardar Sherbaz Satakzai, be released.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the arrested head of the Satakzai tribe, Sardar Sherbaz Khan Satakzai, had rejected the allegation while speaking to BBC Urdu<\/em> over the phone before his arrest.<\/p>\n

According to the report, he said that \u2018no jirga was held under my leadership.\u2019 He claimed that \u2018people decided to kill both of them at the village level.\u2019<\/p>\n

The incident has sparked a strong reaction on human rights organizations and social media, where Bano\u2019s murder is being described as another serious example of atrocities committed under the guise of \u201ctraditional honor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
