More Info at:
Banaz Mahmoud Bakabir Agha, a 20 year old woman of Kurdish origin was
brutally murdered on 23 January 2006 in a presumed 'honour' killing;
police
believe she was murdered by her own family after wishing to remarry
after
ending her forced marriage by divorce. Her body was found in a suitcase
in
April. Banaz had contacted London Metropolitan Police many times to
express
her fear of murder, but was sent back into the arms of the family that
they
suspect murdered her. If different action had been taken by police,
Banaz
would be alive today. We, supporters of the International Campaign
Against
Honour Killings, urge that police treat all complaints relating to
'honour'
crime with the seriousness they deserve. It is too late for Banaz, and
the
many other victims of honour killing in Britain: it is not too late to
save
lives.
