Cos they're fuckin barbaric fuckers, frankly.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/fe … ive-turkey

Turkish police have recovered the body of a 16-year-old girl they say was buried alive by relatives in an "honour" killing carried out as punishment for talking to boys.

The girl, who has been identified only by the initials MM, was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre hole dug under a chicken pen outside her home in Kahta, in the south-eastern province of Adiyaman.

Police made the discovery in December after a tip-off from an informant, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on its website.

The girl had previously been reported missing.

The informant told the police she had been killed following a family "council" meeting.

Her father and grandfather are said to have been arrested and held in custody pending trial. It is unclear whether they have been charged. The girl's mother was arrested but was later released.

Media reports said the father had told relatives he was unhappy that his daughter – one of nine children – had male friends. The grandfather is said to have beaten her for having relations with the opposite sex.

A postmortem examination revealed large amounts of soil in her lungs and stomach, indicating that she had been alive and conscious while being buried. Her body showed no signs of bruising.

The discovery will reopen the emotive debate in Turkey about "honour" killings, which are particularly prevalent in the impoverished south-east.

Official figures have indicated that more than 200 such killings take place each year, accounting for around half of all murders in Turkey.
...and they might not even get prosecuted! Unbelievable.

In fact, that religion isn't even mentioned in the article. So well done for bringing it up. Typical knee-jerk reaction...why does it have to about religion as opposed to...I dunno...MORALITY???

Doesn't imply shit tbh since 'it's unclear if they've been charged'. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't get prosecuted. Hope they do.

that depends on if anyone starts talking about religion...oops you've done it!

Honour killings are common in other cultures, not only muslim ones.

My point with posting this thread is because it seems to me that a country which wants to enter the EU and then horrific things like this still happen basically shouldn't be allowed to join, unless the fuckers who did this are banged up properly and justice is served. Otherwise forget it.

Not to do with religion in the OP.

edit: haven't seen lowing around for a while, thank goodness.

Arrested pending trial.

Usually means that as officers gather evidence these men are in jail awaiting trial and to attempt bail.

Meanwhile the officers are gathering more evidence to correctly charge those accused.

You don't want to charge someone with further crimes while they are already in court on a different charge. You try to charge a criminal with everything you possibly can so all that evidence is presented in the one courtroom and the chances of a successful conviction are higher.

At the moment they can be held as suspects.

This thread started off in a very bad manor and escalated to even worse ...

Starting an OP with "Cos they're fuckin barbaric fuckers, frankly." doesn't exactly open up for a sound discussion ...

Try again and be more balanced in your approach ...
