The courts should have contacted Tahir Zahoor Ahmed of Therapy Works to find out that the suggested punishment of '80 lashes' for alcoholics is very rarely used in today's alcohol fuelled endemic within Pakistan.
According the the principles of Qunoon-e-Shahdat (The law of evidence) Zahir Jaffer was given a very fair trial, even after a confession, because Islam will not have an innocent person punished regardless of how the facts may seem stacked against them. He was sentenced to hanging and his accomplices given ten years in prison each. This was after everyone involved in the crime, and reporting upon it, was kept detained within Pakistan until the trial was over.
A very thorough investigation which highlighted alcohol abuse, violence against women and the rule of law. All important issues in today's Pakisan.
Unless the British courts think they are better than that of a former region of the Empire which they helped to liberate into being an Islamic country I think their ruling was wrong. And quite racist.
Perhaps some of that Sir Keir Starmer/BBC grooming gangs debacle was caught up in it all?

He has spoken out on international incidences before when Zahir Jaffer murdered Noor Mukadam (The daughter of a diplomate to South Korea and Ireland) by by beheading her whilst intoxicated with alcohol, that is, of course after confining her and raping her.
