Ahlam, a women in her 30’s was killed by her own father after facing years of domestic violence. She ran out of her house screaming, her father then followed her, hit her in the head and killed her. (a thread) #الغاء_المادة_٩٨و٩٩_من_قانون_العقوبات #صرخات_احلام
To make matters worse he then sat next to her dead body, drank tea and smoked a cigarette while her uncles came to applaud the father for what he did. I wish I can tell you that this is a one off and that we don’t hear stories like this everyday.
This has happened and still happens to many women under the name of “honour killings” which is a normalised concept in the middle east both legally and socially. The government is very lenient and understanding towards criminal activities as such.
