Protests mount over rape, murder of Faisalabad university student

Outraged colleagues of the deceased protest inaction over the heinous incident

Last month, a similar incident drew enraged protesters out on the streets after a Government College University Faisalabad student, Abida, was found raped and murdered after going missing for days.

In a wave of protest reminiscent of the outrage that followed the rape and murder of minor Zainab earlier this year, social media users started the hashtag #JusticeForAbida on Twitter to demand swift action against the culprit(s), who remain at large.
