MOSUL, IRAQ – APRIL 7, 2007 A 17-year-old Kurdish girl, Du’a Khalil Aswad, was brutally stoned to death by a mob in a small town near Mosul. It was so-called honor killing/execution. Du’a had a relationship with a 19-year-old Kurdish boy for about 4 months. The family did not recognize their relationship. The family’s anger escalated when Du’a did not return home one evening and stayed with the boy overnight.
