Pakistan suffers from a rape epidemic and migrants from such countries often bring such customs with them to Europe
A serial Pakistani rapist who targeted young men in Paris’s Bois de
Boulogne has been arrested and jailed after being identified through DNA
evidence. The 33-year-old suspect is believed to be responsible for
multiple assaults over the past year.
The assailant, Shahzad K., a 33-year-old born in Pakistan and
previously unknown to the police, committed his last known rape on the
evening of Friday, May 23. On that day, a 23-year-old man was on his way
to a jazz concert at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, located in the Bois
de Boulogne, when he was targeted.
Around 7:00 p.m., as the victim walked from his bus stop towards the
venue, a man suddenly attacked him, forcing him to perform oral sex
under the threat of violence.
Portuguese authorities have
identified and arrested a 41-year-old Pakistani national strongly
suspected of raping a 6-year-old Ukrainian refugee, marking yet another
horrific case of Ukrainian refugees facing sexual assault and rape
inside European refugee shelters. According to Portuguese police, the
attack took place at the end of last month at a reception center in
Guarda, … Continue reading
After the assault, the victim fled to the Louis Vuitton Foundation and
immediately contacted the police. Although officers arrived, the
attacker had already disappeared. Unbeknownst to the Pakistani migrant,
this would be his final act before being taken into custody by the
police.
The rapist used the same method in this case and others, which
involved knocking his victims down and dragging them to a secluded spot.
Then, a police source told Le Parisien,
that the suspect would say he was carrying a knife as a form of a
threat. After he finished raping his victim, he would steal their bank
cards.
A Pakistani migrant is on trial in
Italy for the unlawful imprisonment, sexual assault, and abuse of a
German teenager he held captive in a farmhouse in Rome for nearly two
years. On Tuesday, an Italian court heard how the 39-year-old suspect,

On Saturday, June 7, law enforcement, acting on a detailed description
of their target, conducted a security operation led by the 16th
arrondissement police station. During the operation, they successfully
arrested Shahzad K.
While in custody, a DNA match also linked the suspect to a similar
rape case from a year prior. The Paris prosecutor’s office has
confirmed two victims, aged 21 and 23, with the incidents dating back to
June 7, 2024, and May 23, 2025, respectively. However, a police source
suggests there may be a third victim, attacked on March 18.
Currently, his known victims stand at three alleged cases, but Shahzad K. may have had other victims who did not come forward.
Shahzad K. was brought to stand trial in Paris on Monday. He has since been charged and placed in pre-trial detention.

he investigation, managed by the first judicial police district, is
ongoing under the supervision of a Parisian investigating judge.
There have been many sexual crime cases involving Pakistani nationals in France. In one case from last year,
an illegal Pakistani migrant was caught watching porn at his own trial
in France, where he was convicted of charges of sexual assault.
During the trial, his lawyer also deployed a legal tactic used more
and more frequently to reduce sentences, claiming that the homeless
migrant acted due to his “patriarchal culture.”
Mr. M, whose full name has not been released, was brought before
judges of the Créteil judicial court for sexually assaulting a woman in
Choisy Park and assaulting her husband. He had no record before the
incident, but due to his illegal status, he was considered a high flight
risk.
The rape of young boys is a mass phenomenon in Pakistan and
Afghanistan; it is so common that there is a word for it, Bacha bazi. It
is most prevalent in northwestern Pakistan. Despite laws against
homosexuality, these laws are rarely enforced and the practice of boy
rape is seen as a “cultural tradition.” In some cases, massive scandals
have arisen, such as the Kasur child rape scandal, which involved
hundreds of children being raped. Videos of sodomy and forced sex acts
were filmed with approximately 300 children, resulting in political
upheaval. Organized crime rings, some with political connections, were
filming the acts and selling the videos online.
Pakistan is ranked as one of the worst countries in the world for
women’s rights, ranking 151st in terms of gender inequality according to
the World Economic Forum.
In an article detailing the huge rape problem in Pakistan for the Toronto Star, Farzana Hassan writes:
“Whereas boys are assaulted and sexually abused through institutions such as bacha bazi —
the practice of chiefs and landlords owning male sexual slaves — girls
are victimized for a host of reasons, but most often the primitive urges
of powerful and predatory men…
While the public in Pakistan is
outraged at this murder, it should be noted that rape is often used as a
weapon against girls and women to settle family feuds. It is inflicted
with impunity. Punishments for rape and sexual assault are negligible
and culprits often go scot-free.
Rapes are under-reported by women because the law often treats rape
as adultery and women who report such crimes can end up in jail. The
testimony requirements in a rape case can also make it impossible to
punish the rapist.
These judicial anomalies indicate a fundamental lack of
acknowledgement of the humanity of women. Yet the issue transcends mere
law enforcement; it is bound up with sexist attitudes toward women and
girls that are rampant in society. That such incidents occur daily and
usually go unnoticed shows Pakistani society’s comprehensive failure of
gender awareness.”
