""transgender [people] are an oppressed section of society," adding: "We must all give them dignity and respect.""
""These back-to-back tragedies show that the community is being systematically targeted,""
""This is not just about individual killings; it is an attempt to terrorize and silence an entire community.""
""When hate speech and campaigns are carried out so openly, outcomes like this are inevitable,""
""Even though the state and police are on our side, killings are still occurring, which indicates that deep-rooted hatred against transgender people persists in our society.""
Three transgender women were found shot at close range on a roadside near Karachi and were later buried in a local graveyard. The Sindh chief minister ordered a probe and called for dignity and respect for transgender people. Police said the motive remained unclear, coming days after another transgender woman was severely injured in a knife attack. Activists and advocacy groups said the incidents indicate systematic targeting and called for immediate arrests, a dedicated police protection unit, and greater public solidarity. Community members staged protests at Jinnah Hospital and warned of wider demonstrations if no arrests follow.
