A couple in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, has been arrested for allegedly murdering a 13-year-old girl, Iqra, who worked as their maid. The girl died from multiple injuries last Wednesday after being accused of stealing chocolates. Preliminary investigations show signs of frequent torture and abuse, including fractures and head injuries. Iqra had worked as a maid since the age of eight to help her family with debt, earning around $28 a month. Her death has sparked widespread outrage in Pakistan, with calls for justice for Iqra and renewed discussions on child labor and domestic worker abuse. The girl's parents and activists are demanding justice, but cases like these are often settled without successful prosecutions.
