Judges in Sara Sharif Case Fear for Their Safety
Judges in Sara Sharif Case Fear for Their Safety
Three judges who oversaw court proceedings related to Sara Sharif, a 10-year-old girl murdered by her father and stepmother, have expressed serious concerns about their safety if they are named. The judges argue that the media should not be allowed to identify them due to the risks of a 'virtual lynch mob' and the intense scrutiny that has followed a previous judgment. However, several media organizations are challenging the ban, arguing that transparency is in the public interest. The case raises questions about the balance between transparency and privacy in the family court system.
