After a year-long fight, Sana Yousaf’s parents speak out, sharing their emotional journey and relief as the Islamabad court finally delivered justice.
After a year of relentless pursuit for justice, the parents of the late young influencer Sana Yousaf have finally spoken out. Following the Islamabad court’s verdict that sentenced Umer Hayat, her killer, to death, Sana’s mother, Farzana Yousaf, and father, Yousaf Hassan, shared their emotional journey and profound relief in an exclusive interview with BBC Urdu.

Sana Yousaf, a vibrant 16-year-old from Chitral, had captivated a growing audience with her lifestyle content from Islamabad. Her aspirations were grand; she dreamt of becoming a doctor, a path her parents fully supported. Tragically, her life was cut short when Umer Hayat, whom she had repeatedly rejected, brutally murdered her at her home. While a verified Instagram account for Sana Yousaf is not available for direct linking, her digital presence as a young influencer resonated deeply with her followers.

In their poignant interview, Farzana Yousaf revealed her immense fear of facing her daughter in the afterlife without having secured justice. Her husband, Yousaf Hassan, emphasized their resolve to fight this case not just for Sana, but for all young girls facing oppression in society. Farzana recounted her inability to even look at the perpetrator, Umer Hayat, in court. They proudly stated that they never hindered Sana’s ambitions, always protecting her; she never ventured out alone, always accompanied by her uncle.


This landmark verdict brings a semblance of closure to a family shattered by an unthinkable loss and sends a powerful message across society. What are your thoughts on the unwavering strength shown by Sana Yousaf’s parents in their quest for justice?
