Pakistan 'honour killing' video sparks national outrage
The video shows the woman, Bano Bibi, being handed a Koran by a man police have identified as her brother.
"Come walk seven steps with me, after that you can shoot me," she says, before walking forward and coming to a halt with her back to the men.
Her brother, Jalal Satakzai, then shoots her three times in the back before she falls to the ground.
He then shoots and kills the man Ms Bibi was accused of having an affair with, Ehsan Ullah Samalani.
After the video, taken in Pakistan's Balochistan province, went viral, police arrested 16 people, including a tribal chief and the woman's mother.
The mother, Gul Jan Bibi, said the killings were carried out by family and local elders based on "centuries-old Baloch traditions" and not on the orders of the tribal chief.
"We did not commit any sin," she said in a video that also went viral. "Bano and Ehsan were killed according to our customs."
She said her daughter, who had three sons and two daughters of her own, had run away with Mr Samalani and returned 25 days later.
Police said Ms Bibi's younger brother, who shot the couple, remains at large.

Backlash after viral video
The video sparked outrage online, with hashtags such as #JusticeForCouple and #HonourKilling trending.
Dozens of activists protested in the provincial capital of Quetta on Saturday to demand an end to parallel justice systems.
Balochistan's chief minister Sarfraz Bugti said it was a "test" case and vowed to dismantle the illegal tribal courts operating outside the law.
Police had said a jirga, an informal tribal council which issues extrajudicial rulings, had ordered the killings.
While honour killings in Pakistan were made illegal in 2016, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan reported at least 405 in 2024, most of them women killed by relatives claiming to defend family honour.

India forces kill three gunmen involved in Indian Kashmir tourist terror attack
Indian operatives killed three of the gunmen involved in an April attack on Hindu tourists. Two of the three were identified as members of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba. India denied it bowed to US pressure to agree to a truce with Pakistan. Indian security forces have killed three gunmen who were involved in an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir, home minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday. The heavily-armed men were killed in a military operation on Monday, more than three months after 26 people were gunned down in a popular resort town of Indian Kashmir on 22 April. 'I want to tell the parliament (that) those who attacked in Baisaran were three terrorists and all three have been killed,' he said. Shah identified two of the three killed as members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a UN-designated terrorist group based in Pakistan. 'Indian security agencies have detailed evidence of their involvement in the attack,' he said in a speech in the lower house of parliament. Monday's operation took place in the mountains of Dachigam, around 30km from the disputed region's main city of Srinagar, the army said in a statement. The attack in April saw gunmen burst out of forests near Pahalgam and rake crowds of visitors with automatic weapons. All those killed were listed as residents of India except one man from Nepal. India accused Pakistan of backing the attackers, a charge Islamabad denied, sparking an intense four-day conflict between the nuclear-armed rivals that killed more than 70 people on both sides. Muslim-majority Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since their independence from British rule in 1947, and the neighbours - who both claim the region in full - have fought two wars and several conflicts over its control. Reuters reported India's defence minister said on Monday that New Delhi had ended its military conflict with Pakistan in May as it had met all its objectives and had not responded to pressure, rejecting US President Donald Trump's claim that he brokered the truce. Tauseef Mustafa/AFP Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was speaking at the opening of a discussion in parliament on the 22 April attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir in which 26 men were killed. The attack led to a fierce, four-day military conflict with Pakistan in May, the worst between the nuclear-armed neighbours in nearly three decades. 'India halted its operation because all the political and military objectives studied before and during the conflict had been fully achieved,' Singh said. 'To suggest that the operation was called off under pressure is baseless and entirely incorrect,' he said.

Father among 9 people arrested in Pakistan over suspected honor killing
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — The father and the ex-husband of an alleged honor-killing victim are among nine people arrested in eastern Pakistan in connection with the young woman's death. Police said Sidra Bibi, 18, was killed on the orders of a local council of elders in the garrison city of Rawalpindi after she married a man of her choice. Some of her relatives are alleged to have buried her body and flattened the land to erase evidence of a grave, police official Aftab Hussain said Monday. The victim was suffocated using a pillow placed over her face, he added. The arrests came after authorities exhumed the body and carried out an autopsy, which confirmed she had been tortured before being killed. The case has drawn widespread condemnation in a country where honor killings are still common. The independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said 405 women were killed in 2024 in such cases, compared with 226 in 2023. 'The actual number is believed to be higher due to underreporting,' said Sadia Bukhari, a member of the commission's council. Honor killings, in which family members kill women for actions perceived as bringing shame to the family — such as choosing their spouse — have increased in recent years. Earlier this month, police in in southwestern Balochistan province arrested 11 suspects after a video shared online appeared to show a young couple being fatally shot for marrying without their families' approval. Police confirmed the authenticity of the footage, saying the killings happened in the Deghari district in the province of Balochistan. In January, police arrested a Pakistani man suspected of killing his U.S.-born 15-year-old daughter for refusing to stop posting videos on TikTok, a platform with more than 54 million users in the country. 'These so-called honor killings reveal a deep-rooted mindset that views women as the property of men,' Bukhari said. 'Most women in Pakistan face discrimination from childhood through adulthood.' __ Associated Press writer Asim Tanveer contributed to this story from Multan, Pakistan.

India Says It Killed 3 Militants Behind Spring Terrorist Attack in Kashmir
Indian security forces gunned down three assailants they said were involved in a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir this spring, officials said on Tuesday, three months after the slaughter of civilians in a scenic park started a military conflict with neighboring Pakistan. Amit Shah, India's home minister, told the country's Parliament that security forces had followed the men in 'high-altitude forest' in the months since the April attack that killed 26 civilians, almost all of them tourists. The soldiers finally killed them in a shootout on Monday near the city of Srinagar, the capital city of India's Jammu and Kashmir region. Some Indian news outlets reported the killings on Monday, when the Indian Parliament began a debate on the government's handling of its conflict with Pakistan. But officials had urged caution, as they were still identifying the bodies to confirm they were those wanted over the attack in the Pahalgam area. Mr. Shah told Parliament on Tuesday that all three of the militants killed were Pakistani nationals and were all were involved in the terrorist attack. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration has come under pressure from the opposition for failing to track down the attackers for so long and because of how it conducted the clash with Pakistan, including how the escalations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors ended under pressure from President Trump. Even after India went into battle with Pakistan, accusing its neighbor of supporting militants who target India, many details about the incident were not publicly disclosed, including the exact number of attackers and their identities. There have also been questions over how such a security lapse could happen in one of the world's most militarized regions. Mr. Shah, the home minister, did not make it clear whether any of other attackers remained unaccounted for. 'It has been 100 days, and this government has not been able to catch those five terrorists,' Gaurav Gogoi, a leader of Indian National Congress party, the main opposition, said in Parliament on Monday before news reports of the killings started filtering through. New Delhi has long accused Pakistan's military of using militancy for proxy warfare by harboring and training groups who wage violence in India, particularly in the Kashmir valley. The region has been disputed ever since Pakistan was cleaved from India at the end of British colonial rule. Pakistani officials have accused India of starting the military conflict without providing proof that the militants behind the Pahalgam attack were tied to their country. After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam — where Hindu men were separated from their families and killed after being asked about their religion — Mr. Modi vowed military action against Pakistan. He also paused India's participation in a water-sharing treaty and downgraded its already minimal diplomatic ties. But after India's military action, its air forces suffered unwanted setbacks. As Indian jets flew along the border before dawn, targeting what were identified as terrorist camps inside Pakistan, the Pakistani side managed to shoot down some of the Indian aircraft. The attacks brought back bitter memories of similar incident in 2019, when Pakistan managed to capture an Indian pilot after shooting down his jet in a similar buildup of tensions. Indian officials remained largely silent about their losses as they extended their strikes to Pakistani military targets in the subsequent days of a conflict marked by heavy use of drones and missiles from both sides. Satellite images showed that they had managed to inflict damage on Pakistani military installations. 'In any exam, what matters is the result,' Rajnath Singh, India's defense minister, said during the parliamentary debate on Monday. 'If a student returns with good marks, it's their marks that should matter to us. We shouldn't be concerned about whether their pencil broke or they lost their pen during the exam.' The manner in which the fighting ended has also brought scrutiny on Mr. Modi. Mr. Trump made a surprise announcement from Washington that his officials had forced the agreement for a cessation of violence on both countries by using trade threats as leverage. India quickly tried to play that down, saying the request for a cease-fire had come from the Pakistani side under pressure from India's military assaults. But to New Delhi's embarrassment, Mr. Trump has repeated his claim more than two dozen times — something Mr. Modi's opposition has jumped on. In the raucous parliamentary debate on Monday, one Indian opposition lawmaker, Deepender Hooda, took a jab at Mr. Modi's struggle with Mr. Trump by suggesting an out-of-the-box trade lever of his own. 'Either shut Donald's mouth,' he said, 'or shut McDonalds in India.'
