A peaceful protest was held by the family and friends of Noor Mukadam, daughter of former Pakistani diplomat Shaukat Mukadam outside the Islamabad Press Club.
Co-organized by her sister Sara Mukadam and hosted by actor Osman Khalid Butt, many people gathered to show solidarity with the family and extend their support in their difficult time.
While expressing grief about her demise, Osman Khalid Butt said, “Noor was exceptionally talented but what struck me most about her was her inherent sense of kindness and goodness. She was pure of heart and beautiful inside out.”
Noor’s father asks for the highest punishment for her murderer and his accomplices.
It was deeply moving to hear the tributes and poems by her sister and the family. One couldn’t help but weep to be a witness to their dignity and pain. #JusticeForNoor pic.twitter.com/eoWjrC6xIs— Amber Rahim Shamsi (@AmberRShamsi) September 22, 2021
Butt also spoke at the protest and said, “We see a new hashtag every day. We see injustice every day with women and so it is so easy to become desensitized.” He went on to say, “As a nation, we need a reminder, we all need to be reminded that Noor was a living, breathing human with hopes, aspirations, with dreams that were all brutally snuffed out.”
