“Saudi Human and Women’s Rights Activist Wajeha Al-Huwaidar Speaks Out Against Honor Killings”
SNIPPET: “On April 7, 2007, a teenage Yazidi Kurdish girl named Du’a Al-Aswad was stoned to death by a lynch-mob in Iraq, because she had violated her family’s honor. A video of the stoning, filmed by the participants themselves using their mobile phones, was posted on http://leilamagazine17.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-post_6785.html .
A year after the stoning, Saudi reformist and human rights activist Wajeha Al-Huweidar wrote a scathing article in which she harshly criticized the sexist character of Arab culture and particularly the phenomenon of “honor killings.”
The following are excerpts from her article, which appeared on the reformist website www.aafaq.org.”
