Her crime was to fall in love.

[Sweetpea]

Rand Abdel-Qader, 17, told her closest friend that she was in love from the moment she set eyes on the young British soldier working alongside her in Basra, and she dreamed of a future with him.
It was an innocent infatuation but five months after Rand, a student of English at Basra University, met Paul, a 22-year-old soldier posted to southern Iraq, she was dead. She was stamped on, suffocated and stabbed by her father. Several brutal knife wounds punctured her slender, bruised body - from her face to her feet. He had done it, he proclaimed to the neighbours who soon gathered round, to 'cleanse his honour'.
And as Rand was put into the ground, without ceremony, her uncles spat on her covered corpse because she had brought shame on the family.

Her crime was the worst they could possibly imagine - she had fallen in love with a British soldier and dared to talk to him in public.

These people are sick, her mother must be absolutely heartbroken.

I don't think they are sick, I think they are very evil. To kill to protect your ego is just pure undiluted evil.

Yes, I saw it today and thought of posting it. What a piece of shite.

Goes on to this day in Britain, particularly and predominantly with a monrity in the Asian community. I seem to recall the last one was only recently, or at least the trial.
