Girl stoned till death!



(The audio in the video above already edited, scroll down and click the link to watch the original video clip)

Finally, after doing few couples of minutes researching to one video clip that said was captured in Indonesia or Malaysia finally I found the real source. The video content violent action where one girl was killed using a concrete block that threw to her head!

The video clip hit Brunei couples months ago (the actual date of the video was last year, 2007!) and a lots of rumors about the video could be heard from different individual. Some said, the girl was killed after stealing some money and other said his boyfriend asked a gangster to kill the girl because of jealousy.

But the actual fact is that:(Iraq, 2007) the girl-Du'a was killed due to her parents(Yezidis* believer-non muslim) disagree with the girl choice to marry a muslim boy.


*Yezidi beliefs are a complicated mixture of Islamic and Zoroastrian beliefs, with Gnostic, Jewish, and Shamanistic elements, There is no specific Yezidi Holy text, but important information about Yezidi practices is contained in the Mes'haf i Resh, or "black book".

"It is believed Du’a met her Sunni boyfriend - whose name is not known - several months ago. They had grown up in an environment where hatred against rival factions is the norm.

The Yezidis - a Gnostic sect which combines Islamic teachings with Persian religions - despise the Sunnis; the Sunnis loathe the Yezidis.

Du’a and her boyfriend would have been all too aware that theirs was a forbidden love. But like so many teenagers before them, right back to the illicit love of Romeo and Juliet, they couldn’t help themselves.

For a while, they met in secret. It was during one such highly charged meeting that they came up with a plan to run away together.

It is not clear whether this desperate measure was a result of their having sought and been refused permission to marry, or if they decided to do it knowing that such permission would never be obtained. "

"The subjugation of its women, however, has been largely ignored. Yet according to cultural observers, the number of so-called ‘honour killings’ has increased in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein."

"The filming of Du’a’s death was just one more macabre element of her killing, but it has achieved something those bloodthirsty amateur filmmakers could not have predicted: it has brought such practices into the open and exposed them to the wider world."

"“This young girl’s murder is truly abhorrent and her killers must be brought to justice,” says Kate Allen, Amnesty International UK Director.

“Unless the authorities respond vigorously to this and other reports of crimes in the name of “honour”, we must fear for the future of the women in Iraq.”

For the sake of 17-year-old Du’a, an innocent girl who simply fell in love with the wrong man, it is all too little, too late. "
