Justice for Banaz Mahmod

DADDYSLITTLEDEADGIRL.jpgNot the justice of Sharia either, which is how her father came to the conclusion that he should murder her to save his, "honor."

Via BBC: A father has been found guilty of killing his daughter in what police have described as an honour killing.

The body of Banaz Mahmod, 20, was found in a suitcase buried in a garden in Birmingham last year.

Her father Mahmod Mahmod, 52, and uncle Ari Mahmod, 50, from Mitcham, south London, were both convicted of murder at the Old Bailey....

...Miss Mahmod was killed after falling in love with a man her family did not want her to marry.

Her father and uncle ordered the murder because they believed she had shamed the family.

Too bad the Brits have abolished the death penalty, some prime candidates right there.
