Ghazala Javed, Pakistani Singer and Outspoken Social Critic, Murdered In Drive-By Shooting...
No good news here… full story at CNN:
A popular female Pakistani singer who defied the Taliban’s decree against singing and dancing was shot and killed in northwest Pakistan Monday night, police and hospital officials told CNN.
Last year Javed made headlines when she asked for a divorce from her husband after she reportedly found out that he had at least one other wife. It was a rare decision in a deeply conservative and male-dominated society where many view a woman’s demand for a divorce as a dishonor to the husband.
