Sexual Harassment And ET's Reporting

SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ET's REPORTING

EXPRESS TRIBUNE reported an incident on Facebook about a 19-year old from Pakistan who was caught in Dubai for harrassing a woman or in more detail he "touched her inappropriately while she was sleeping." Below is my comment which I shared on that post: He is 19 and it is written in the news that he did not rape her but "touched the woman inappropriately" while she was sleeping. Though it is a bad incident but hundreds of actual rape cases of worst scale regularly happen around the world but trust EXPRESS TRIBUNE to try to defame Pakistan by reporting such a story of small magnitude. An educated person from Pakistan would not do such a thing but the world is full of such happenings. Just trying to add spice and malign Pakistan is ET's strategy. In India, some worst cases of rape have happened in the past few years. There was a young lady, who was sexually assaulted inside a bus by 3-4 men and then she was brutally killed afterwards by them. So what are you trying to prove by reporting such a small story ET? If you are short of ideas and stories then being a writer I can provide you much better content.
