'Honour killing' inspires reflection among Pakistanis
A so-called 'honour killing' involving a Pakistani family leads members
of the immigrant community to reflect on the practice
A Pakistani man's alleged shooting of his younger sister in a so-called
'honour killing' over the weekend has led members of the Pakistani
community to discuss ways of halting the practice.
The Organisation of Pakistani Students and Academics intends to discuss
the practice during an upcoming debate forum, according to the
organisation's chairman Qasam Nazir.
'Many (Pakistanis, ed) are very disappointed that this problem has again
appeared in contemporary Denmark,' said Nazir.
Many members of the Pakistani community were shocked over the weekend to
hear reports that a 29-year-old Pakistani man was apprehended on
Saturday, accused of shooting his 19-year-old sister and her Afghan
husband on Friday. The sister died shortly after from her gunshot
wounds.
