[ENS] Public Seminar in London Against Stoning of Doa in Iraqi Kurdistan ( please pubisize it )

[Houzan Mahmoud]

                 Du'a Khalil Aswad: Public seminar in London    
  Public seminar in memory of Du'a Khalil Aswad , Kurdish teenager brutally stoned to death in front of hundreds of witnesses in Bashika, near Mosul.
   
  Du'a’s only “crime” was to fall in love with an Arab man not from her own “faith”. 
   
  We invite you all to this public seminar to shed light on this barbaric crime and discuss the background to so called honour killings in Kurdistan. The campaign will outline its plan of mounting pressure on the Kurdish authorities to take responsible measures to protect women from killing and stoning!
