Why are Harassers Like Ibsham Zahid Still Free from Jail?

Lahore Police needs to arrest this man.

We’ve all seen #IbshamZahidBehindBars on our social media feed by now. So what is this all about and who is this Ibsham Zahid? Another day, another man not knowing that ‘no means no’.

A man named Ibsham Zahid has gone viral for violating the law and the privacy and sense of security of a young woman named Fatima and her family.

The background

When Fatima turned down his advances, Ibsham resorted to violence and threats, He tried everything from attempted kidnapping to threats of rape and sexual violence.

He then resorted to threatening Fatima and her family when they took legal action and filed an FIR against him.

Despite the FIR and mountains of evidence, Ibsham is a free man who still stalks the streets. He was given the opportunity to threaten witnesses into backing out of the case.

 

One of the threatening videos with Ibsham showing off his guns is available online. The man is really trying to play the culture card to get away with his criminal behavior.

 

That’s when members of the Baloch community slammed him for defaming their culture and violating their values.

That’s not all. As news of his crimes went viral, Ibsham Zahid is reportedly fleeing to Dubai to escape prosecution. Since he wasn’t taken into police custody despite the serious charges against him in the registered FIR, that’s no surprise.

Is the end of having to explain that ‘no means no’, or do we still have a long way to go before women’s’ consent starts to matter?
