Police say a local tribal chief who ordered the execution is among those detained in the deaths of a man and a woman accused of having an affair.

Justice delayed is justice denied. The fact that only one honor killing in Balochistan resulted in conviction last year shows a broken system that emboldens perpetrators. Public pressure works. The difference in response between this case and countless others shows that visibility and outrage can drive change.

Thirteen arrested in Balochistan province for alleged involvement in the killing of a couple ordered by a tribal leader.
