Marvi Sirmed’s private information leaked online

Following scriptwriter Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s verbal abuse against activist Marvi Sirmed, her phone number and email address have been leaked online.

Taking to Twitter on Friday, Sirmed shared that she has been getting rape and murder threats and been asked to sell sex.

“Average rate of abusive and threatening messages so far is over 10k per hour,” reads the tweet.

Why was Sirmed attacked by doxxing

It all started Tuesday night when scriptwriter Qamar swore at Sirmed on a talk show on NEO News that was broadcast live.

He abused Sirmed, called her unsavoury names and body-shamed her on the show. Qamar appeared to be having a reaction to the Aurat March slogan ‘mera jism meri marzi [My body, my choice]’. Since then, Sirmed has been getting trolled, doxxed and abused by Qamar’s supporters or those against the Aurat March.

Khalil Ur Rehman reaction

In a separate TV show on Express News, the drama writer said he had no remorse over his behaviour on Neo News. He claimed that he had not grown upset with Sirmed chanting ‘Mera Jism, Meri Marzi’ but because she had interrupted him.

Following the backlash, Geo Entertainment and 7th Sky Entertainment announced on Thursday that they had suspended their contract with the writer.

In a statement, Geo Entertainment said that the channel and production house have suspended a four-drama and one film contract with Qamar “until he apologises for using indecent language in a TV show”.

The company had entered into a non-exclusive agreement with the writer, similar to the ones he has with other TV channels.

However, Qamar announced the immediate cancellation of his contracts with the channel. He assured people that he will not work with Geo for the “rest of his life”.

Taking to his Twitter account, Qamar said that he will not apologise to satisfy anyone. “…Geo Entertainment has demanded an apology from me to satisfy the ulterior motives of a few foreign-funded feminists and justify their ugly and shameless slogans,” reads his statement.
