KARACHI: Showbiz star Ushna Shah hailed the Lahore motorway case judgment and termed the verdict a “landmark” ruling.
“Dear survivor, I hope this is a step towards the healing of your trauma,” Ushna tweeted. “This is a landmark verdict and it may help others from going through what you did.”
On Saturday, a Lahore court sentenced two men to death for raping a woman on the Lahore-Sialkot motorway on September 9, 2020. The verdict was announced after six months.
“Sending love and light to you and your children,” Ushna Shah said in her tweet to victim of rape on Sialkot- Lahore Motorway on September last.
On September 12, men and women across Pakistan staged protests against the victim-blaming remarks made by the Lahore CCPO and the police’s incompetence in the case.
