Zohra Shah was an eight-year-old Pakistani domestic slave of a married couple, Hassan Siddiqui and Umme Kulsoom.[1] She was tortured and killed for mistakenly releasing her masters' parrots in Bahria Town, Rawalpindi on 1 June 2020.[2] [3] [4] Her death caused an outcry in Pakistan and led to legislative changes which outlawed child domestic labour in the country.[5]
She was from Basti Maso Shah in Muzaffargarh District of southern Punjab approximately from the capital, Islamabad.
Allegedly, she was murdered for releasing valuable parrots from their cages.[6] Evidence such as 'older scars and marks'[1] suggest Shah had been repeatedly abused while working for Siddiqui and Kulsoom, and 'wounds on her thighs' were 'consistent with sexual assault'.[1]
Siddiqui and Kulsoom were arrested and put on judicial remand.[1]
