buried alive

Pakistani legislator speaks up for cultural diversity
"These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend them," said Hon. Israr Ullah Zehri. Mainly, he was speaking of the right of a tribe to punish girls who want to pick their own husbands. The latest punishment, about a month ago in a remote village, was that the five girls were shot, then buried alive in a ditch. Associated Press via New York Daily News

I find the juxtaposition of intolerance interesting. The tribe's inability to allow the girls their choice in men to y'all's inability to sanction the tribe's actions!
