The book on untold story of Mukhtaran Mai case by an Australian writer Bronwyn Curran is being launched on June 21 in Karachi. For the first time, the sensational tale of rape-by-decree that shook the world is scrutinised by a journalist who reported on the case from the day it surfaced.
Dissecting never-before-seen transcripts from the closed-door trial of the four men accused of gang rape and ten others accused of abetting the crime, the book Into The Mirror reconstructs the cataclysmic events of June 22, 2002 from both sides.
To find out exactly what Mukhtaran Mai was a victim of, Into The Mirror journeys through the murky Indus backwaters and remote hamlets of Pakistan's southern Punjab, confronting brutal tribal ways of resolving feuds.
