Good for her, brave woman! It's repulsive to think Honor Killings still happen.

This definately made the headlines and I don't think anyone will forget it, especially men. Though I believe this was quite the extreme, I'm sure it made some men think twice about cheating though..at least for a moment.

Dear friends,
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received information from a remote area of Balochistan province, that five women were buried alive, allegedly by the younger brother of Mr. Sadiq Umrani, the provincial minister and a prominent leader of the Pakistan People´s Party, the ruling party. However, police have still not arrested the perpetrators after one month of the incident.
