In a tragic incident in Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, two transgender women, Sabir (Nazaka) and Salman (Salma), were brutally murdered by unknown assailants during a home invasion. The attack occurred around 4:30 PM on Monday, with eyewitnesses reporting that three men entered their residence, armed with daggers and a pistol, leading to a violent confrontation. Following the incident, local police have arrested two suspects and recovered the murder weapon while investigations continue into the motive behind the killings. The transgender community, already facing a surge in violence, is calling for justice and has threatened protests if the attackers are not promptly arrested. Rights groups indicate that violence against transgender individuals in the region has escalated, with at least nine murders reported this year alone. Activist Farzana Jan highlighted the systemic issues that prevent justice for victims, as many previous cases remain unresolved due to familial pardons for the attackers.
