A Burning Issue

This is a picture I found on a German web site. It will never be printed in MSM her plight is shared with thousands of others around the world. The picture caught my attention because it reminded me of one of those mummies one sees that are dug up somewhere on the steppes. In fact I thought it was a mummy until I read the German text. This lady is called Saeeda Bukhsh she is 30 and is lying in a burns unit in Mutan in the Punjab in Pakistan. She is the mother of three children, children she will most likely never be able to see again because she is most likely blind. Her crime by the way was to refuse the sexual advances of a local villager. His sensitive ego could not take such a shock. He has obviously not undergone sensitivity training. He poured acid over her, she was burnt over 35% of her body. I suspect that she was very beautiful once, she certainly has a nice bone structure. It is immaterial now, nobody will want her, she is scared for life and will most likely end up begging for a living on the streets. The man is running around free. Look very carefully again at this picture because there is a strong possibility that it could be coming to a town near you.
