A lawyer shot dead his own sister in the middle of a courtroom because she had 'brought shame' on the family for marrying a man they disapproved of, it has emerged. In an honour killing that has shocked Pakistan, Javed Iqbal Shaikh shot his 20-year-old sister Rahila through the head in the middle of Hyderabad's Sindh High Court (SHC) Circuit Bench. Shaikh smuggled a pistol into a courtroom under his lawyer's coat - passing security checks and body searches - and opened fire in front of dozens of witnesses.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
