Karachi is still reeling days after the brutal rape and murder of a young girl in the city’s Qayyumabad. Mourning the loss with the city’s residents is actor Neelam Muneer, who joined the ever-growing chorus demanding justice.

In an Instagram story shared to her account on Friday, Muneer said every day brought “another horrifying story” and destroyed “another innocent life”. She questioned what had happened to us as a society.

She said the fact that the victim this time was an 18-month-old girl — as per reports — made this incident much more than just “disturbing news”.

“A baby who could not even understand what was happening to her was subjected to unimaginable cruelty,” the actor said.

Muneer asked how many more children had to suffer such a fate before people decided to speak up and how many more innocent lives had to be lost before someone took action.
