										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A 13-year-old rape victim died at Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar after giving birth to a stillborn baby.</p>
<p>The girl was raped five months ago by a man who had taken her home on the pretext of fraud five months ago.</p>
<p>The victim&#8217;s mother had initially taken the girl to a lady health visitor to get the child aborted. However, the girl was then sent to the Lady Reading Hospital in critical condition. She died while giving birth.</p>
<p>The police registered a case against the man suspected of raping the minor girl and arrested him,<a href="https://www.geo.tv/latest/489814-teenage-rape-victim-dies-after-giving-birth-to-stillborn-baby-in-peshawar"> <em>Geo News</em> </a>reported.</p>
<p>In 2018, the gruesome murder and rape of six-year-old Zainab Ansari in Kasur, Punjab, shook the nation, leading to widespread protests.</p>
<p>Later that year, police caught 24-year-old Imran Ali for raping and murdering Zainab. Imran Ali was convicted of similar crimes against six more girls and was handed a death sentence. The convict was hanged in October 2018.</p>
<p>In 2020, parliament passed a new law against child abuse in the wake of Zainab’s case.</p>
<p class="dcr-h26idz">The country’s first national child abuse law introduced a penalty of life imprisonment for child abuse. The law mandates police to register a case within two hours of a child’s parents reporting them missing.</p>
<p class="dcr-h26idz">Nearly 10 cases of child abuse a day are reported in Pakistan, with girls mostly affected, according to Sahil, an organisation that works on child protection.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-layout="story" data-id="1750182">According to a report by an NGO working on child protection, Sahil, over 12 children were sexually abused daily in Pakistan and as many as 4,253 cases of child sexual abuse were reported in Pakistan during 2022.</p>
<p>According to the report, as many as 4,253 cases relating to child sexual abuse, abduction, missing children and child marriages were reported in Pakistan.</p>
<p>Out of the total reported cases, 2,325 victims were girls (55%) and 1,928 (45%) were boys.</p>

<p>The madrassa is owned by JI leader Aslam Gazgi.</p>
<p>The arrest was made after widespread condemnation from human rights activists.</p>
<p>Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo has taken notice of the incident after widespread condemnation from human rights activists and directed the police authorities to take action against the culprits.</p>
<p>Earlier, local activists alleged that the police were not registering a First Information Report (FIR) due to the involvement of an influential JI politician.</p>
<p>According to the FIR, which was lodged three days after the incident, an 11-year-old boy was raped by two culprits. The incident occurred at 11am on April 26, 2023.  Two boys on a motorbike allegedly kidnapped the 11-year-old kid when he was playing in front of his house.</p>
<p>They took the boy to a hilly area near Bagbhana, Khuzdar where they committed the crime.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A court in Khairpur has acquitted a retired schoolteacher who was arrested three years ago after videos of him allegedly sexually assaulting his students at his house had emerged on social media. He was accused of raping and filming dozens of minor children.</p>
<p>The court has acquitted him due to &#8220;lack of evidence&#8221;.</p>
<p>After scrutinising evidence and police reports, the Court of Additional District and Sessions Judge-IV, Khairpur acquitted retired teacher Sarang Shar.</p>
<p>In 2020, videos and pictures had emerged on social media showing schoolteacher Sarang Shar allegedly sexually assaulting a young boy in his house in Thari Mirwah town, Khairpur, where he ran a private tuition centre.

The families of two of the alleged victims filed separate cases against the retired government teacher.</p>
<p>The suspect was alleged to have raped his pupils, and filmed the ghastly act. He was also accused of forcing his students to commit sodomy with each other. All the students who were studying at his tuition centre were aged between 10 to 12 years.</p>
<p>A report by an NGO working on child protection, Sahil, had revealed over 12 children were sexually abused daily in Pakistan and as many as 4,253 cases of child sexual abuse were reported in Pakistan during 2022.</p>
