Qandeel Baloch, a former Pakistani social media celebrity who was famed for being an outspoken feminist and a champion of female sexuality, was killed by her brother in a so-called "honour killing" last week.

Qandeel, real name Fouzia Azeem, was 26-years-old, and was dubbed "Pakistan's Kim Kardashian" because of her level of national fame. She had been visiting her parents in Multan, Pakistan when she was strangled to death by her brother, Waseem Baloch. The 25-year-old Waseem was arrested in Dera Ghazi Khan on Saturday after the sibling’s parents alerted the authorities. In a confessional video, Azeem has expressed no remorse for drugging and later strangling his sister and has said: “I am proud of what I did. I drugged her first, then I killed her, she was bringing dishonour to our family” Qandeel was known for being outspoken on the issues of women's rights and politics in Pakistan. https://twitter.com/QandeelQuebee/status/753674232756920320 In one of her last Facebook posts before her death, the star was defiantly standing up for herself and other women

"As a women we must stand up for ourselves As a women we must stand up for each other. As a women we must stand up for justice. I believe I am a modern day feminist. I believe in equality. I need not to choose what type of women should be. I am just a women with free thoughts and a free mindset and I love the way I am”
