ANKARA - A 16-year-old girl was buried alive by relatives in southeast Turkey in a gruesome honour killing just because she reportedly befriended boys, the Anatolia news agency reported Thursday.
Acting on a tip-off, police discovered Medine Memi's body in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre-deep hole in a chicken pen outside her house in Kahta town, Adiyaman province, 40 days after she went missing, the agency said.
A subsequent post mortem revealed that she had a significant amount of soil in her lungs and stomach, meaning that she was buried alive, foresic experts told the agency.
"The autopsy result is blood-curdling. According to our findings, the girl -- who had no bruises on her body and no sign of narcotics or poison in her blood -- was alive and fully conscious when she was buried," one anonymous expert said.
Medine's father and grandfather have been formally arrested and jailed pending trial over her killing, the agency said.
The father is reported to have said in his testimony that the family was unhappy she had male friends.
In honour killings, most prevalent in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, a so-called family council names a member to murder a female relative considered to have sullied the family honour, usually by engaging in an extra-marital affair.
But the practice has gone so far as to kill rape victims or women who simply talked to strange men.
Yes it is. I can see no way of eradicating this evil without violence (imo). Education and showing them a more civilized/peaceful way of living is obviously not working. They’ve been living as barbarians for centuries but not because they haven’t had choices, they just refuse, due to indoctrination, to assimilate. Even the ‘westernized’ Muslims are completely ‘ingrained’ with the philosphy of death. They blend in and then strike. I’m sorry...education or example is NOT the answer......eradication is. Disclaimer: I am an extremely peaceful person but as TGO says, don’t poke your stick in my cage. We are going to be forced into choosing soon.
This makes me sick. Corporate Media does not cover real news any more, so the public is totally unaware of what is going on.
Thanks for the information.
> Really? Then please explain the most virulent, hate filled, mysoginistic bunch of mohammedans, the Saudis.
Look at who has educated them and made them rich. They embody the sickest most degenerate value system the west has to offer. Heck, we used to execute the terrorist Saud family, until the Brits used them to secure the oil for themselves. You can have them. Bomb them I say, PAH! lmao.
Well, if you don’t support Sharia Law, I guess you’re o.k.
As to that guy, if he is a Sharia backer, I would kick his miserable butt out of here.
The west has a problem with sheltering freaks - the Franch did it with Komeni.

Interesting comments.
Don’t be fooled by any Turk telling you that the “good Turks” are for a “secular” version of islam.
No such thing. Any and all versions of it are satanic.
It was the butcher pedophile so called “liberalizer” Secularizer” Ataturk and his gangsters that genocided 4 milion Christians in the 20th century.
I know. But thanks for saying it anyway.
Wonder why they monitor this forum? Maybe they are spies for Barack Hussein Usama.
