New York Teen Murdered by Her Pakistani Father in ‘Honor Killing’: Police

A New York-born 14-year-old girl was murdered by her Pakastani father and uncle in a so-called “Honor Killing,” in reality a horrible brutality.

Hira Anwar lived in New York with her parents – both Pakistani immigrants who had emigrated two decades ago. Although the New York Times reports she was a normal, happy teenager when outside her home, her parents expected a strict and modest code of conduct for her as a young woman.

On Monday night, her father and uncle felt she had brought shame to her family and shot her dead during what was portrayed as a vacation back to Pakistan.

What did Anwar do to upset her father so badly that inspired her to kill? She was online, posting videos to TikTok like any of person her age. Her father thought the content was not appropriate.

He later confessed to the murder in Quetta, the capital of the southwestern province of Balochistan, Pakistan.

The Times reports this is not an aberration among Pakistanis, but an ongoing problem against women in that culture.

Citing the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, the Times lists the number of these honor killings per year as remaining stable with 588 in Pakistan last year, 490 in 2023, and 590 for 2022.
