[If I remember correctly, girls weren't allowed to go to school. Or was that just in Afghanistan?]
No, they could go to school in Iraq. Class was held right after she was raped by government thugs and her parents were shot in the head and dumped in mass graves with the other hundreds of thousands of corpses.
I wish this was sarcasm.

The parents weren't always shot in the head. Weren't they also put into wood chippers? Depending on how heinous the crime, they could go in head first or feet first.
Sometimes they got off for good behavior and only had a hand cut off.
