The Lahore High Court has confirmed the death sentences for two men convicted in the 2020 Lahore-Sialkot Motorway gang-rape case. The detailed judgment cited overwhelming evidence – ocular, medical, and forensic – proving their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The court dismissed appeals from Abid Ali and Shafqat Ali, upholding the original sentences passed by an antiterrorism court in 2021. The horrific incident involved a Pakistani-French woman and her children being attacked, raped, and robbed while stranded on the motorway. Authorities apprehended the accused following a thorough investigation utilizing forensic science and DNA evidence. The court rejected a government appeal for enhanced sentencing under kidnapping for ransom charges, maintaining the existing penalties. The case garnered national attention due to the brutality of the crime and its impact on public safety concerns.
