Pakistani human rights activist demonstrate outside parliament in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Monday, Sept. 1, 2008. Police say they have opened an investigation into the ‘honor killings’ of five women who were allegedly shot and then buried alive one month ago in Baluchistan province after several insisted on marrying men of their own choosing. The brutality of the crime and foot-dragging by police sparked outrage in Pakistan, especially after a lawmaker defended the killings in Parliament last week as part of tribal traditions.
