Roa Anwar likes killers roaming freely so as is the reason that encourages other criminals to commit such inhuman acts without fear of being punished. The criminal activities couldn’t be stopped until hanging such criminals publically. #JusticeforGulPanra

Do you even realise how much courage it takes for one to be an activist in a country which keeps putting you in jeopardy whenever you raise voice against those who are in need of help? Can’t expect protection from a shithole place. #TransLivesMatter #JusticeForGulPanra

TransAction Pakistan, a group advocating trans rights, said Gul Panra was shot six times at the point-blank range. She was rushed to Sherpao Hospital, but she succumbed to her wounds on the way. Whereas, another trans woman, Chahat, was in critical condition and moved to Khyber Teaching Hospital.
Police said they have started a probe into the murder. Transgender persons are frequently subjected to torture and are been murdered on the basis of the discrimination against them.
