A horrifying video of a crowd watching a mob beat two teenage brothers to death has sparked mass demonstrations in Pakistan.
The video, broadcast on Pakistani news channels, shows a lynch mob taking turns to savagely beat the two boys with sticks, drawing blood from them before dragging and hanging their dead bodies from a nearby pole.
But perhaps just as shocking is that none of the dozens of people and police watching tried to stop the vicious attack.
Left to hang: The brothers' dead bodies were hung from poles after a mob, believing them to be robbers, beat them to death with sticks
It is now thought the boys, who were on their way to play cricket in Sialkot, an eastern Punjab province, may have been mistaken for robbers by the group who decided to
deliver brutal justice for their supposed crime last Sunday.
The scenes have outraged Pakistanis, some who are questioning how their society could passively watch the shocking killings without intervening.
The News, an English-language daily newspaper, wrote: 'Is this what we are? Savages? So utterly bereft of a speck of humanity that a crowd of ordinary men are passive spectators to public murder?'

No Alfa...you are not sending aid to people like them because there area was not affected by the flooding. And please do nor stereo type and say all Pakistanis like that. If that was true they wouldn't be protesting aginst it.

And we're supposed to send aid to people like this? Maybe when they've learnt decent and civil behaviour and stop funding terrorism in the name of religion, they'll be worthy of our help.
