Torture On Kinza Confirmed In Medical Reports
Torture On Kinza Confirmed In Medical Reports: Kinza’s medical examination, which was held at Benazir Bhutto Hospital, revealed that she was indeed tortured. The Child Protection Bureau has registered a case against the couple.
The ASI investigating the case has been suspended. She remarked that she used to steal food because she wasn’t even given, following which she was beaten up. “They would hit me for stealing biscuits and nimco. I would steal it because I was hungry,” she said.
“Baji Ammara and uncle used to hit me. I told them to give me food, and I will stop stealing it,” she said. Kinza remarked that she was kicked often, and sometimes her woman employer would even stand on her. “If I were sleeping, they would wake me up and hit me.”
The parents tried to seek justice, but they couldn’t get any help. Soon, they returned to their native village in Faisalabad. Her father was even ‘forced’ to sign an affidavit saying that Kinza got injured after falling from the stairs.
The case, a grim reminder of the infamous Tayyaba torture case of 2016, came to light through a series of videos shared on Twitter in which the child can be seen narrating her ordeal.
The child named Kinza, an 11-year-old per her own estimate, says that she is employed as a domestic worker at the residence of Ammara Riaz, a major in the Pakistan Army, and her husband Mohsin Riaz, who is a doctor by profession. The house is located in Wilayat Colony, Scheme III, Chaklala.
The girl, who managed to escape the house, accuses her employers of starving her and torturing her with wires, belts and ropes for over a year. She further says she is kicked and stomped on while she sleeps.
When asked by the videographer to describe how she has been mistreated, she explains that she is not fed properly by the family she lives with, and when she steals food out of hunger, she is administered inhumane beatings.
In the video, Kinza shows injuries that she has sustained, including her bloodshot, black eyes as well as multiple wound marks on her arms, neck and head.
Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari took notice of the case and said the ministry is “keeping a close eye [on the matter] to ensure justice for the little girl”.
