Pakistan moves toward death penalty for child sex abuse | Astro Awani
"ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has taken a step towards punishing the sexual abuse of girls with life imprisonment or even death after an influential parliamentary committee voted to amend current laws.
The National Assembly's standing committee approved the proposal by lawmaker Shaista Perveiz Malik on Tuesday, according to a statement on parliament's website.
"After detailed discussions, the committee unanimously passed the bill," it said.
The amendment only appears to address the sexual abuse of girls aged under 14, not boys."
