Honor Killer Sentenced To Life

A Turkish court imposed a life sentence on a father convicted in the “honor-killing” of his daughter.

A court in Bursa handed down a life sentence for 60-year-old Arif Ç. who stabbed his 22-year-old daughter Sevil Ö. 27 times when she returned home after running away from her husband and two children.

On Wednesday Arif Ç. was sentenced by the Bursa 2nd Criminal Court to life imprisonment in solitary confinement with no possibility of parole for the crime of premeditated murder. Arif Ç claimed before the ruling that his daughter had committed suicide, saying she had suffered from psychological problems. Declaring that his daughter returned home 13 days after she had fled, Arif Ç. said: “Just when we went to make a missing person report at the gendarmerie my daughter stabbed herself. I am innocent.”

The court didn’t find the father’s testimony credible in light of the forensic evidence and the impossibility of the girl having actually stabbed herself in the back.

One would think the stab count might have factored in, too…

So remarkably sick that some people still believe this is acceptable behavior.

It’s funny, in a sick, twisted way…how the tree-hugging socialists (especially here in Canada, where they are the minority but make noise like a majority) scream that we have to tolerate other cultures differences…even if they fly in the face of everything we believe. It’s also funny how those same morons are wringing their hands over how the Afghan authorities are allegedly treating prisoners handed over to them by Canadian forces…I mean, culturally, Afghanistan believes in beating prisoners…aren’t we SUPPOSED to be tolerant of their culture?
