Femicide

The couple’s three children, aged  6, 9, and 11, were in the family home at the time of the homicide, but were said not to have witnessed their mother’s death.

Dutch prosecutors said Ryan was killed for behaving in a “Western” manner, by having a boyfriend, which brought “shame” to her family.

The findings show a sharp rise in femicide, alarming enforcement gaps - particularly affecting Arab women - and repeated missed warning signs.

Maryam Taghavi, 16, was reportedly beaten with a wooden stick so severely that she needed to be transferred to the Khomeini Hospital in Ajabshir, where she died hours later from her injuries.

Over the past year, 32 women from both Jewish and Arab backgrounds were victims of femicide.

The discovery of the bodies came only two days after a transgender woman was wounded in a knife attack.

The TikTok influencer, 17-year-old Sana Yousaf, was shot dead outside her home earlier this year in front of her mother.

The court was told that Surjit Singh, who was a carer for his elderly mother, began the attack after Kaur commented negatively on his state of intoxication and took away the TV remote.

One-third of all femicides in Israel were later found to be matricides.

The victim was able to survive the alleged attack by holding onto the boat's ladder with her legs.

Ibrahim Ghazal traveled through a number of European countries, evading extradition after arrests, by complaining he would be executed if he would return to Lebanon.
