Italian Citizenship: Pakistani Origin and Punjab Province

italian citizenship: The case came to light this week after friends shared posts about her death on social media, prompting police to investigate, according to CTV. Her father and uncle have since been arrested and are being investigated. Sana Cheema, a 25-year-old woman of Pakistani origin who had Italian citizenship, died on April 18 in the city of Gujrat in eastern Punjab province. Nearly 1,000 women are killed every year in Pakistan in so-called honour killings, cases in which members of their families or relatives kill them for violating conservative norms on love, marriage and public behaviour. A local magistrate attended the exhumation of the body, followed by an autopsy after which the woman's body was reburied. On Wednesday, Irfan Ullah, a senior police officer in Gujarat, told reporters at the scene that police had acted following the social media posts but Cheema's family had not even notified authorities so officers had to trace her identity first and whether there was even a death.
