Death By Stoning

A seventeen year old girl was stoned to death after her Kurdish Yezidi family found out that she was in love with a Sunni Muslim.
A 17-year-old girl has been stoned to death in Iraq because she loved a teenage boy of the wrong religion.
As a horrifying video of the stoning went out on the Internet, the British arm of Amnesty International condemned the death of Du’a Khalil Aswad as “an abhorrent murder” and demanded that her killers be brought to justice.
What makes this even more sickening, (as if it could be worse), it is being reported that an Iraqi security force sat around and watched.
Reports from Iraq said a local security force witnessed the incident, but did nothing to try to stop it. Now her boyfriend is in hiding in fear for his life.
This is truly disheartening.
