Former Pakistani Dancer Commits Suicide After Acid Attack By Her Ex-Husband Which Left Her Looking 'Not Human'!

A Pakistani former dancing girl left fighting for
life by a 'horrific' acid attack has committed
suicide a decade after being heavily facially
disfigured.
Fakhra Younus, 33, leapt to her death from a sixth
floor building in Rome 12 years after the acid
attack which she said left her looking 'not
human'.
At the time of her attack in May 2000, her ex-
husband Bilal Khar was the man accused of entering
her mother's house and pouring acid over Younus's
face as she slept.
The mother-of-one moved to Italy after the
incident to live in Rome and continue her
treatment.
But on March 17 she took her own life, after
leaving a message saying she was committing
suicide over the silence of law on the atrocities
and the insensitivity of Pakistani rulers.

Cleared: Younus's ex-husband Bilal Khar, the son
of a wealthy Pakistani governor, was cleared in
2003 of charges relating to the attack
Bilal Khar was arrested in 2002 and charged with
attempted murder following the attack, only to be
released on bail after five months.
Khar, an ex-parliamentarian and son of a wealthy
Pakistani governor, was eventually cleared of the
attack, though many believe he could have used his
family connections to escape conviction.
After Younus's tragic suicide emerged earlier this
month, Khar continued to deny having any part in
the attack - claiming in a television interview a
different man with the same name had carried out
the crime.
Khar claimed his ex-wife killed herself because
she didn't have enough money, not because of her
horrific injuries.
More than 8,500 acid attacks, forced marriages and
other forms of violence against women were
reported in Pakistan in 2011, according to The
Aurat Foundation, a women's rights organization.
The Pakistani government introduced new laws last
year criminalising acid attacks and stating that
convicted attacks would serve at least 14 years in
jail.
Tehmina Durrani, the ex-wife of Bilal Khar's
father, had become an advocate for Younus after
the attack, and said the acid attack victim had
pledged to bring her attacker to justice when she
had recovered."
