Honor Killing in Bampur: Pregnant Woman Murdered by Her Brother

Unnamed woman
Age: 40
Shot: August, 2024
Residence: Bampur, Sistan and Baluchestan
Perpetrator: Brother
Excuse: ‘Honor’

A pregnant woman was killed by her brother in Bampur, a town in the Sistan and Baluchestan province, using a firearm. The motive for the crime was reported to be the victim's remarriage to her ex-husband. In August 2024, a 40-year-old woman from Bampur, who was five months pregnant, was murdered by her brother with a gunshot to the head due to an honor-related motive.

According to the Baluch Activists Campaign, the brother had repeatedly stated that the remarriage of his sister to her ex-husband, after their divorce, had brought shame upon him. The victim had sought refuge in a relative's home for protection. Ultimately, the suspect went to that house under the pretext of speaking with his sister and shot her to death.
