Transgender person killed, body hacked to pieces in Peshawar

The transgender person, Nazo, was shot dead at her flat and later the body was hacked to pieces, the police told The Express Tribune, adding that they have also recovered the axe and the gun used in the crime.

An activist of the trans community told The Express Tribune that as many as 62 members of their community have brutality been put to death and in most cases the killers were allowed to go scot-free.

“It’s a norm. We face harassment from the people who hire us to perform at their functions. While returning from the functions, we are robbed of our money – and if we put up resistance, they don’t hesitate to shoot us,” Sidra, a Swabi-based transgender person, told The Express Tribune.
