Armeena’s Response
In a heartfelt tweet for the 17-year-old Rehan, Armeena Khan said his only crime was that he was poor.
“To the poor teen from Bahadurabad who was killed mercilessly on a mere suspicion of burglary (just a suspicion). They tortured him for two hours and did not stop even though there was a call to prayer (azaan) in the background. #RIP kid, your crime is that you were born poor,”
The Sherdil actress tweeted ‘his crime is that he was born poor‘.

Armeena Khan also posted a picture of the words written on Rehan’s T-shirt – Apna Time Ayega – the day he was killed. This slogan, which means ‘Our Time Will Come’ has become synonymous with demanding justice for the poor boy.

Justice for Rehan
For those who don’t know, 17-year-old Rehan was tortured to death following accusations of him committing robbery in a bungalow in the Bahadurabad area of Karachi.
A video which shows Rehan being tied and beaten by the owner of the bungalow and their neighbors have been doing rounds on social media. Twitterati have been demanding justice for Rehan by raising their voice through the trend #JusticeForRehan.
Currently, #JusticeforRehan is trending on number two on Pakistani twitter. Here’s how Twitterati have raised their voices against the inhuman act.
Butchery. Met 16yo Rehan for a moment few weeks ago. He gave a bright smile when I said I was listening to the same song on his shirt 'Apna Time Ayega'. Imagine what those 3 words symbolized for him for his future. Today, he was lynched to death by 2 men in Khi.#JusticeForRehan

This a shame, having these bastards still alive. They must not see any mercy at all. Theft conviction is not -beating a teenager till death. But for murder punishment is ONLY death penalty. #justiceforRehan pic.twitter.com/s03v2cVarh

When you hit a human being or an animal, know that it hurts. When you become a part of the mob that is hitting a malnourished 15 years old, know that he will die before you're done. You'ld commit a larger crime than what you're punishing him for. YOU END A LIFE. #justiceforRehan
