Critical response of s video

It's tha World was met with generally mixed reviews from music critics.

King Eljay of AllHipHop gave the mixtape a 7.5 out of 10, saying "Its one of the stronger releases from Jeezy that weve had in recent memory, and its fully deserving of the free download. Jeezys improving his consistency, and even with the few filler songs sprinkled in (along with redundant topics, of course), if he continues in this vein theres no real reason to think hell fall off any time soon.

With production from the aforementioned Lodi, Jahlil Beats, Black Metaphor, Cardo, Mike Will, and more, Its Tha World is a nice serving of Jeezy that will hold us over until he pops next". Ralph Bristout of XXL gave the mixtape an L, saying "There are moments when the beats dont match up to the sermons, leaving the tapes overall cohesiveness in shambles. The DJ Mustard-produced R.

I.P. (w/ 2 Chainz) is an example, as it comes off more lackluster than it appears on paper especially as it sits between the more tranquil Escobar and Just Got Word.

The beats (Too Many Commas, Evil) are not at fault. They just dont quite fit the bill compared to gems pocketed on past tapes like Trappin Aint Dead or even the last years Real Is Back series. Albeit, Its Tha World serves as another batch of solid offering for the man whose become Public Enemy #1 as of late.

No worries though, as he puts it on Damn Liar, Itll be a cold day in hell before they melt me". Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX said "Experimenting well with new trends, California party starter DJ Mustard is responsible for "R.I.

P." and "All the Same" (benefitted by 2 Chainz and E-40 respectively), while West coast rookie YG brings his own youthful authenticity to "Just Got Word," all examples of the creative versatility which has made for Young Jeezy's longevity. Never neglecting to issue reminders of his glorious contributions to Rap, the tape closes with the self-entitled "Thank Me" aimed at anyone who has failed to relinquish proper appreciation.

Jeezy has mastered the art of survival in music using It's Tha World as yet another showcase for loud and energetic boasts of materialism and fantasies that he's a major part of today's cocaine trade. The main fault to be found lies in repetition, as his rags to riches tale risks becoming stale to an audience all too familiar with this running routine".

Events of s video

The videoFour girls - Bazeegha, Sereen Jan, Begum Jan and Amina - are seen clapping and singing; a fifth girl, Shaheen, is also in attendance but doesn't appear in the video.

In a separate shot, a man is seen dancing, while a second man records both him and the girls. The video was reportedly filmed at a wedding celebration in the remote, and strictly conservative, Kohistan region, where cultural traditions are enforced by jirgas. In 2012, the video was leaked online and, as the girls and men were from different tribes, mixing in that environment was forbidden.

A jirga was convened where it was decided that the participants should be killed. Investigations and legal rulingsThe incident reached national media in June 2012 when Afzal Kohistani, the elder brother of the boys connected to the video, alleged that the girls had been killed on the orders of the Azadkhel tribe jirga. Officials from the area denied that this had taken place and claimied that the girls were alive.

The case was disposed of after rights activists and government officials made two trips to the remote village to meet the girls, as ordered by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, and initially confirmed that at least four of the girls were alive. Dr Farzana Bari, a woman's rights activist who made both trips to meet the girls, initially agreed with the conclusions reached but then lodged her dissent. In response to the closure of the case, Afzal Kohistani asserted that imposters had been presented to the investigation team and that the real girls were dead.

He filed an application to reopen the case which resulted in three of his brothers being shot dead. On 8 February 2014, a former member of the Provincial Assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from Kohistan, publicly claimed that the four girls seen in the video had been murdered and this prompted Afzal Kohistani to file another petition for the girls to be produced in court. After this was rejected, he took it to the Supreme Court where, in November 2016, another commission was ordered.

The defence lawyer argued that the girls couldn't be brought before the commission because of local tribal restrictions making it a matter of honour and shame. That argument was rejected by Justice Ejaz Afzal and sessions judge, Shoaib Khan, and other officials, were dispatched to meet the girls. Four girls duly appeared before them and inconsistences were noted around the age of the girls produced and those who appeared in the video five years prior.

In relation to Amina, the report submitted by the commission to the Supreme court stated: By appearance, she was about 14/15 years old. Reportedly, the video was shot back in the year 2010 and it surfaced on the internet in 2012. If we subtract the six years from Aminas age, her age at the time of video shooting would be between 8/9 years whereas girls visible in the video look to be aged between 20/22 years back in the year 2010.

Similar discrepancies were found in each case. Farzana Bari made a fresh statement to the court reiterating her earlier concerns that the girls seen in the video were not those who had been presented before the commission. She stated: "Photos of the girls taken during the commission session were given to a Reuters' journalist, Katharine Houreld, who got the matching done through a renowned independent British agency 'Digital Barriers'.

It was found in the said report that the photos of the girls, who were made to appear before the commission, did not match the images of the girls appearing in the said video."In August 2018, on the order of the Supreme Court, the Kohistan police registered a first information report for the alleged honour killing of the five girls connected to the video. In December 2018, the investigation found that two out of five victims were reportedly alive and that three of the girls - Siran Jan, Begum Jan and Bazeegha - had, indeed, been killed.

Afzal KohistaniAfzal Kohistani was a Salehkhel tribesman from the Kolai-Palas District, he was one of eight children. The family lived comfortably and were well respected within the village community of Gadaar. At various times, Afzal ran a tailoring shop, clerked for a lawyer and traded bee honey, he studied law in his free time.

In 2010, he was living in Mansehra City with his wife and two of his younger brothers, Bin Yasir and Gul Nazar. Around this time Yasir and Nazar returned to the family village of Gadaar, which is where the video was later filmed. When the video went viral Yasir and Nazar were arrested, two of their brothers and other families from the Salehkhel tribe left Gaddar and moved to Allai, where they'd been offered protection from the Azadkhel tribe, to whom the girls in the video belonged.

As opposed to following the tribal tradition, Afzal tried to prevent the sentence of the jirga from being carried out. When that failed he went to the media and repeatedly raised litigation in order to prove that the murders had taken place. As a result, three of Afzal's brothers, who stayed behind in Gadaar, were murdered in January 2013 and Afzal's house was firebombed.

On 6 March 2019, he was shot dead in Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. ConvictionsIn January 2014, six men from the Azadkhel tribe were convicted of murdering Afzal Kohistani's three brothers. One was sentenced to death and five others were sentenced to 25 years in prison, all were relatives of the girls from the video.

Six other men, including the jirga chief who allegedly ordered the initial murders, were acquitted. In 2017, the convictions of the six men were overturned by the high court. In September 2019, the father of Bazeegha, the father of Sereen Jan and the brother of Begum Jan, were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Five other men were acquitted.

Proceedings of s video

The Royal Commission began with the purpose of investigating the purported tampering in the appointment of judges following the release of a widely circulated (including on YouTube) eight-minute video clip featuring what appears to be a well-connected senior lawyer, V.K.

Lingam, purportedly discussing promotions and factionalism among senior judges over the phone with Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim, the number 3 judge in the country at the time the clip was recorded on a mobile phone in 2002. Lingam is also seen apparently talking to Fairuz about the latter's own rise within the judiciary. At the time the video was released on 19 September 2007, Ahmad Fairuz was already the Chief Justice of Malaysia, but his four-year tenure as Chief Justice was due to expire 31 October 2007.

His tenure was not extended, and his post was taken over by Abdul Hamid Mohamad. The lawyer is also heard saying that he had discussed the judiciary with tycoon Vincent Tan and another prominent ruling party politician both regarded as intermediaries to then-prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. The conversation suggests that certain top judges are closely connected with the country's top leaders via political intermediaries and business cronies.

The minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, has said that the judge implicated in the video clip had called him to deny that he was the one talking to the lawyer. On 15 January 2008 the Royal Commission began their inquiry of a video that alleges political interference in judicial appointments and the manipulation of high-profile cases. On 17 January 2008 Mahathir was brought before a Royal Commission that look the manipulation of top judicial appointments during his administration, a scandal that has cast doubts about the independence of Malaysia's judiciary.

He was made to testify before a government inquiry into a secretly recorded video clip that showed a man believed to be a prominent lawyer, V. K. Lingam, boasting that he could get key judicial appointments made with Mahathir's help.

Throughout the inquiry Mahathir feign ignorance and forgot key timelines. Continuing with the inquiries, former Chief Justice of Malaysia Tun Mohamed Eusoff Chin was called before the Commission whereby he denied he was a close acquaintance of the lawyer V.K.

Lingam even though he took a vacation with him to New Zealand. Lingam was also called before the Royal Commission, where he claim he did not recall the phone conversation he made to Ahmad Fairuz. He said he might have been drunk at that time and denied he had ever tried to influence judicial appointments.

Vincent Tan who was next was questioned about his influence on former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and he denied that he ever discussed judicial appointments with Mahathir. He rebutted Mahathir's claims that he might have consulted with Tan over judicial appointments. A new revelation appeared showing PKR President Anwar Ibrahim releasing a third video clip purportedly showing Lingam talking about having dinner with and buying an expensive gift for former Chief Justice Tun Mohamed Dzaiddin Abdullah.

Anwar said he was disappointed the Royal Commission which focused solely on the fixing of judges and did not allow evidence that court decisions had also been fixed. Anwar also claimed that there was a third video clip that implicated more judges in the judiciary.
