Remember Du’a Khalil Aswad
Two years ago tomorrow, Kurdish teenager Du’a Khalil Aswad was publicly stoned to death in an honour killing. She was of the Yazidi faith, and her “crime” was to fall in love and run away with a Muslim boy. Thousands reportedly participated in her murder in Bashiqa, northern Iraq.
In her memory, the International Campaign Against Honour Killing has nominated 7 April as the international day against honour killings. Several news stories about her are linked here.
