Four Women Killed for Dancing at Pakistani Wedding


Islamabad, Jun 4 (IANS): Four women, who were sentenced to death by clerics in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provice for singing and dancing at a wedding, have been killed, a media report said. A minister, however, denied this.

Four women and two men had been sentenced to death in Kohistan for singing and dancing at a wedding.

Muhamamd Afzal, brother of one of the convicted men, said that four women have been done to death, Geo News reported.
