Prosecution will seek death penalty for alleged rapists in Pakistan

Prosecutors are reportedly seeking the death penalty for four men who are accused of gang-raping a woman in Pakistan.

The woman's attorney is seeking the sentence after the men were reportedly ordered by a tribal council to punish the woman for something her brother did.

Police have arrested 18 men in connection with the rape that occurred last month in a rural tribal village. The woman's 11-year-old-brother was seen walking with a girl from a different tribe. So far her family has been given $8,000 and a school in her name.
