[wWARNING - not for those of very delicate sensibility]
Last night they showed a TV documentary ( - US or UK originated, not sure - ) about "honour killings" (what an oxymoron!) in Pakistan; "Honour Among Men - The Killing of Women in Pakistan". It concerns a 27 year old woman whose husband hung her upside down, broke her ribs with an axe handle, sliced off her nose and ears, tried to cut her tongue off, then gouged out her eyes. She was 3 months pregnant (his baby).
The US-Pakistan community in Wasshington fly her to the US for reconstructive surgery by maxillo-facial, etc. experts.
It was an extraordinary story - my wife and I watched it just sobbing throughout. Has it been shown elsewhere yet?
