I'm spending a lot of time on my Tumblr blog these days. WTG is more or less abandoned at this point. So, if you'd like to keep up....head on over to We Are Here To Go.
Leila Hussein dared to speak out. Now she's dead
POSTED ON 6/02/2008 | PERMALINK |1 Comments | BOOKMARK

Five weeks ago Leila Hussein told The Observer the chilling story of how her husband had killed their 17-year-old daughter over her friendship with a British soldier in Basra. Now Leila, who had been in hiding, has been murdered - gunned down in cold blood. Afif Sarhan in Basra and Caroline Davies report on the final act of a brutal tragedy.
She watched her husband "suffocate, stamp on, then stab their young daughter Rand in a brutal 'honour' killing for which he has shown no remorse." She divorced and denounced him. Now she's dead. Her husband remains a free man.

Once her daughter was murdered and she courageously chose to leave her abusive, violent husband, Leila Hussein was a marked woman. This is tragic.
