A teenage girl sobbed as she told a court how she feared for her life as her own father choked her during an alleged 'honor killing'.
Fatima Ali, 18, was giving evidence against her parents Ihsan Ali, 44, and mother Zahraa Subhi Mohsin Ali, 40, at their attempted murder trial on Tuesday.
The couple are accused of trying to strangle their daughter outside Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington, on October 18 last year.
Terrifying footage first published by the Daily Mail before the trial, and shown to the court today, shows Ihsan put her in a chokehold on the ground until her boyfriend Isiah, classmates, and bystanders rescued her.
Fatima, who was just 17 when she was attacked, bravely told the jury of the agonizing moments her consciousness slipped away in her father's grasp.
The petite 5ft 1in girl weighting just 101lbs felt his arms around her throat and 'dirt on my face' from the ground, couldn't breathe, and had pain in her neck.
Prosecutor Heather Stone asked what Fatima was thinking as she struggled to stay alive. 'Heartbroken for what my dad did,' she said.
'Did you have any fear?' Stone asked. 'Yes.' 'Fear of what?'
'Of dying,' Fatima choked out, her voice breaking into a sob.
She was barely able to respond 'no' when asked if she could say anything during the attack.
Fatima was in such a state that Thurston Superior Court Judge Christine Schaller called a recess.
The teenager explained she lost consciousness four times during the attack and only has flashes of memory.

Some times the mother has a look on her face that could curdled milk.
The lawyers have talked to the dad and he does not look on his face like the a-hole he was on the day he tried to kill her.
Gee, why don’t we understand Muslims?
Islamophobia isn’t the irrational fear it’s cracked up to be.
Don’t they have CPS across the pond?
A plague upon the earth.
Exactly.
Not in this case apparently.
A cancer on our species.
Mom and Dad arrested for attempted killing.
Arranged marriages in these cultures are usually a way to sell off a female child in return for money or land from the groom and his family.
Just a chattel transaction.
Islam is pure evil.
Nearly every Muslim today is the descendant of someone who murdered the men and boys and then raped and forcibly converted the women.
Muslims should not be given the opportunity for US citizenship
Why would you ask? This took place in Washington state.....
According to the daughter’s testimony and charging documents, the conflict stemmed from her refusal to comply with an arranged marriage to an older man in another country, which her father had been threatening her with. She reportedly sought help from school staff after running away from home, which led to the parents’ alleged attack on her outside the school.
Bus camera footage reportedly shows Ihsan Ali choking his daughter during the attack. Witnesses also described the chaotic scene and attempts to intervene. The daughter testified that she feared dying during the incident.
Defense attorneys for the parents have countered the prosecution’s claims, suggesting that the daughter’s boyfriend escalated a family disagreement into violence and that the mother was attempting to console the teen. One defense attorney also argued that the parents believed their daughter had simply run away.
This case is being referred to as an “attempted honor killing” in some news reports.
I don’t under why the lawyers can’t mention the terms arranged marriage.
Islam means - “To submit” and if you don’t they kill you.
THAT, in a nutshell, is Islam.
Anybody who tells you it is a religion of spiritual peace does not have the slightest idea what it really is - a death cult that supports murder, mayhem, violence, rape, mutilation and blood, lots of blood.
They’re feral animals that should be put down.
Yes. If Islam had conquered the earth, as was their intent, we would not be having this having this conversation now. There would be no computers. There would be no internet. There would no electricity. Humanity would be a savage mob, differing little from the wild animals.
Modern civilization abides in spite of Islam. It will endure only if we continue to fight against it.
...”Islam is a religion of peace...”....so said one former brain-addled U.S. president a number of years ago....
