A Pakistan court on Friday convicted the brother of social media star Qandeel Baloch of her murder, a 2016 killing that sparked a change in laws and ignited fierce debate over the prevalence of "honor killings" of women.
A court in the eastern city of Multan found Muhammad Waseem guilty of the murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment, his lawyer said.
"Waseem has been given life in prison," the lawyer, Sardar Mehboob, said by phone after the verdict was delivered. "It is for sure that we will appeal in the High Court."
