Celebrities renew calls for justice for Noor Mukadam after sister's appeal on social media
Many celebrities have reacted to a message posted by Noor Mukadam's sister on social media by sharing her post and reminding people that the fight for justice is not over.
Twenty-seven-year-old Mukadam was killed in an upscale neighbourhood in Islamabad in July. Zahir Jaffer is currently being investigated for her murder along with his parents Zakir Jaffer and Asmat Jaffer, who are being investigated for supporting Zahir and abetting him.
Noor's friends recently protested outside the Islamabad High Court when the court took up the post-arrest bail petitions of Zahir's parents. The protesters urged the court to not grant them bail.
Many stars have once again raised their voices to support the fight for justice for Noor after her sister Sara posted a message addressed to celebrities and public figures on social media. The message was posted on Justice for Noor, a social media platform run by Noor's friends in her memory.
"To our Pakistani celebrities, influencers, bloggers, journalists and all renowned personalities. It is time to give back to your country and your society," the message read.
"It is time to raise your voice and mobilise your followers for the greater good. We need your support now more than ever. Please raise your voice for Noor Mukadam now! We must stand together and fight for justice! This is a test case for our government and our judiciary but more importantly for all of us. Please act now."
