Pakistan was rocked by violent protests when the body of a six-year-old girl, Zainab, was recovered on Tuesday from a trash dump in the border city of Kasur, Punjab. The city remained paralyzed for over 50 hours, and protests were ignited elsewhere in the country as shock over the brutal murder spread.
Punjab’s police, denigrated by critics as a “politicized” force, panicked at first. It failed to control the enraged mobs, which swept through the city burning billboards depicting the state’s chief minister, damaging vehicles, ransacking the houses of ruling PML(N) parliamentarians and trying to set on fire the office of the Deputy Commissioner in Kasur.
