Islamabad: Women's groups in Pakistan are outraged with the Government.

Last week the Government struck a deal with a hardline Islamic alliance and accepted their major demands to change the controversial laws.

A crime like rape could result in the victim being prosecuted for adultery unless she is able to produce four male witnesses to the crime.

"The amendments being presented by the Ulama committee is negating all human rights and against the spirit of Islam. The new strategy, which is adopted in reference with amendments in the bill, we understand, is condemnable," said Farzana Bari, a women rights activists and head of the non-government gender department.

The women's groups are demanding that the implementation of these laws known as the Hudood Laws be suspended and a fair deal be given to their sisters.
