Pakistan woman stoned to death by family for marrying man she loved
By By Mubasher Bukhari5 hours agoBy Mubasher Bukhari
LAHORE Pakistan (Reuters) - A 25-year-old woman was stoned to death by her family outside one of Pakistan's top courts on Tuesday in a so-called "honor" killing for marrying the man she loved, police said.
Farzana Iqbal was waiting for the High Court in the eastern city of Lahore to open when a group of around dozen men began attacking her with bricks, said Umer Cheema, a senior police officer.
Her father, two brothers and former fiance were among the attackers, he said. Iqbal suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead in hospital, police said.
All the suspects except her father escaped. He admitted killing his daughter, Cheema said, and explained it was a matter of honor. Many Pakistani families think a woman marrying her own choice of man brings dishonor on the family.
Iqbal had been engaged to her cousin but married another man, Cheema said. Her family registered a kidnapping case against him but Iqbal had come to court to argue that she had married of her own free will, he said.
Around 1,000 Pakistani women are killed every year by their families in honor killings, according to Pakistani rights group the Aurat Foundation.
The true figure is probably many times higher since the Aurat Foundation only compiles figures from newspaper reports. The government does not compile national statistics.
Campaigners say few cases come to court, and those that do can take years to be heard. No one tracks how many cases are successfully prosecuted.
Even those that do result in a conviction may end with the killers walking free. Pakistani law allows a victim's family to forgive their killer.
But in honor killings, most of the time the women's killers are her family, said Wasim Wagha of the Aurat Foundation. The law allows them to nominate someone to do the murder, then forgive him.
"This is a huge flaw in the law," he said. "We are really struggling on this issue."

Pakistan is a fucked up toilet. Fucked up things happen in a fucked up toilet country. I doubt having the Jesus would make them civilized, non-tards.

In a nutshell, this pretty much sums up most of the 'islam is bad' stories we read. Most, I said, not all.

So how are the Islamist's in Britain? Nice and peaceful? Kind?

Islamists? Generally dicks, very occasionally violent. Muslims? Perfectly normal. Except they don't have bacon on their cheeseburgers.

and re-arrested? come on this is just wrong....

Yeah I was about to post that. I really have no idea, it looks like there's a witch hunt for her and her family - they need to get out of that country and back to America pronto.
-
indeed - they were at the airport doing just that!

You seen anything on why exactly they were arrested? I've looked but can't find anything.
-
Probably to get the world's attention.
Or po'd that the media coverage made them look like reasonable extremist thugs.

I suppose they -want- to be seen as unreasonable...more intimidation factor...
