UK Honour Crimes Increasing


More on the killing of Banaz Mahmod.
There is a "speaking from the grave" phone clip of this poor girl describing how her father had previously set the stage to murder his own daughter, I suggest you watch it in stand alone/full screen to facilitate the reading of the sub titles.

Diana Nammi, of the Iranian and Kurdish Women's Rights Organisation, also told the BBC she believed there were "lot of cases" of honour killings.

"There are lots of suicide cases where woman have been forced to commit suicide," she added.......


Her sister Bekhal, 22, who is in hiding from the family, condemned her relatives for taking her relative's life.

She said: "To do this to their own flesh and blood was unforgivable. Forgiveness isn't even a question. They don't deserve to be on this earth." more


I have previously touched on the subject honour killings and "suicide" be it forced or voluntary.
