Miss Kelly has a few more details on the Pakistani honor killing I pointed to earlier (see: URGENT - Honor Killing, Pakistani Woman Needs Help):

Ghazala age 18 another victim of honor killing from “Pakistan (Pallandri AJK)” being hounded by her family (brother in law) because she chose her husband by leaving her home at mid night due to some internal & external pressures last year.

After the search of three months she was found & separated by her forced husband. At that time due to interference of her father & few other tribes men she was been saved by killing, but her brothers & cousin were in search of a suitable time to kill her.

Her father placed her in a "madrasa" in Rawalpindi. On 6th or 7th of July she was brought back to her native home as she was not feeling well due to small pocks. Her uncle who is a milliner businessman in UAE forced his son Haroon age 20 to kill Ghazala age 18. He did so with the help of his local cousins on 19th July 2006 & left for UAE.

Now the parents & other family members with the help of police made this a suicide Case. No authorities are taking this as a cruel act. I on behalf of the people of town appeal the human rights activists to reopen this issue & make the justice to her poor mother & small sisters which are also threatened to be killed by the Cousin...
