Pakistani soldier stoned to death for love affair, tribesmen say.

Punjab native Anwar Din, 27, was posted last year to the Parachinar area of Kurram agency where he met Intizar Bibi, 19, while manning a checkpost near her home.

The two embarked on a romantic relationship, tribal sources said, and he tried to elope with her when he was later posted to the disputed Kashmir region. It was not immediately clear what evidence there was, if any, of a romance.

“The girl left her home on Monday and met Anwar Din when villagers saw them,” said Munir Hussain, the head of the local jirga, or tribal court, that sentenced Din to death. “We took the girl into custody and took the boy to the local graveyard where he was stoned to death and buried.”

Din was killed on Monday, he added. A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the jirga had ruled the woman must be shot to death.

The kings of torture. I’m surprised they let the 19 year old off with just shooting her. And they think Western society is ruining the world. And it’s not just tribes with torturous justice. Get caught dancing in public in Saudi Arabia and you get whipped.
Truly a sad world for women.
