The group of men raided the woman's home in a village in Narowal district and attacked her and her family just a few weeks after they allegedly gang-raped her 13-year-old niece.
The men are alleged to have issued repeated threats to the teenager's family – in an attempt to silence them. They had also reportedly seized a piece of land belonging to the family to try to deter them from pressing charges.
Local police were slow to register a case against the alleged attackers, who reportedly include the son of a former police chief. Ten suspects were later arrested but were released on bail. Christians are a tiny minority in the village and fear that justice may be denied them.' (Release Int.)
