Bushra Ansari, a veteran actress from Pakistan, addressed the court’s decision to sustain Zahir Jaffer’s death sentence in the Noor Mukadam murder case on Friday. On Monday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) affirmed Jaffer’s death sentence and converted his life in prison into the death penalty.

In response to appeals against the sentences imposed on the convicted defendants and the exoneration of co-accused in the gruesome murder of the 27-year-old lady, the court issued the judgement that had been reserved on December 21 of last year. Following Jaffer’s crime for the rape and murder of Noor, the decision to condemn him to death twice was taken. When the rape was proven, he received a 25-year sentence with hard labour and a fine of Rs0.2 million.

Bushra posted on Instagram: “I hope this happens but it would have been better if he had met the same fate as Noor Makhdam. He should be given an exemplary death.”

She said, “Abid Malhi and Shahnnawaz Ameer should die a horrible death. Numerous others spoke up in support of Bushra’s viewpoint.

“Yes, a lot needs to change. But it is a first step at least,” wrote a person. “His parents should also be held accountable as they were also involved (knew and did nothing in fact hid it),” wrote another.

On July 20, 2021, Noor, who was 27 years old, was discovered dead at the home of the main suspect, Jaffer, in affluent Sector F-7/4 of Islamabad.

The shocking murder shocked the entire nation, aroused indignation, and led to demands for Noor’s justice, which led to a successful trial and the killer’s eventual conviction.
