Analysis: The Dark Reality of Property Disputes and Human Rights Abuses in Sindh, Pakistan
The recent news article about a widow, Tishleem Jahan, and her 14-year-old daughter being locked in a room and walled in by their relatives in Hyderabad, Sindh, is a disturbing reflection of the dark reality of property disputes and human rights abuses in the region.
According to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Hyderabad, Dr. Farrukh Linjar, the relatives of the widow erected a wall instead of a door to the room, effectively imprisoning the mother and daughter [[3]]. This shocking incident highlights the extreme measures that some individuals will take to resolve property disputes, often at the expense of the most vulnerable members of their families.
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. There have been numerous reports of women and girls being subjected to violence, abuse, and exploitation in Sindh, often as a result of property disputes or other forms of patriarchal oppression. For example, a 14-year-old Hindu girl, Muskan Kumari, was reportedly abducted, raped, and forcibly converted to Islam in Ghouspur, Sindh [[2]]. Similarly, Priya Kumari, a 7-year-old Hindu girl, disappeared while serving sherbet to a Muharram Ashura procession in 2021, and her parents are still protesting for her recovery [[1]].
These incidents are symptomatic of a broader culture of impunity and disregard for human rights in Sindh, where vulnerable individuals, particularly women and minorities, are often subjected to violence, abuse, and exploitation. The fact that a widow and her daughter can be imprisoned in a room by their relatives with little or no regard for their well-being or safety is a stark reminder of the need for urgent action to protect human rights and promote justice in the region.
the incident of Tishleem Jahan and her daughter being locked in a room and walled in by their relatives is a disturbing reflection of the dark reality of property disputes and human rights abuses in Sindh, Pakistan. It is imperative that authorities take swift and decisive action to address these issues and promote justice, equality, and human rights for all individuals, particularly the most vulnerable members of society.
