The Pakistani Interior Ministry has approved the extradition request to Italy for Shabbar Abbas, who is accused of the April 2021 murder of his 18-year-old daughter Saman in Novellara, Reggio Emilia. To be charged with the murder of a young woman who objected to an arranged marriage, as well as the mother and three other family members. Saman's body was discovered buried inside a shed near the family's home in November 2022. Intercepted a month after his daughter's disappearance, the father admits to the murder, explaining that he did it for "honor." "The Pakistani government's agreement to extradite the father of poor Saman Abbas gives us hope that the trial in Reggio Emilia will finally reveal the full truth and bring justice to a terrible story. We obviously owe it to Saman, because those who murdered her and those who assisted in her murder must be identified and punished, and we owe it to all the girls who want to live free in our country," says Mara Carfagna, president of Azione and former minister.
