Banaz: An Honour Killing

[@faylamplough4908]

I just can't comprehend how beating and r*aping someone isn't seen as dishonorable but a woman leaving her husband is... Its just so insane to me how people genuinely believe this. My heart aches for women in these situations.

[@skykirby2216]

Absolutely disgusting isn't it? My heart ached for banaz, so beautiful. I can comprehend it either, the world has drastically changed & with it humanity aswell. There's needs to be more awareness made for the women stuck in a situation as this. So that they'll feel safe when seeking safety. I know there's already organisations out there working to raise awareness but if they could somehow find a way to advertise more in places women go alit ,like public bathrooms. Just like all those mental health awareness posters. 💯 this is a just a tragic & what those evil bastards did to her while ending her life. 😢😢 AUSSIE CHICK WATCHING HERE✌🏽

It made me feel physically ill hearing that be said, pure proof out of the horse mouth that this is how screwed the system is when it comes to real complaints, esp in NZ, they just get dismissed, then told to come back when you start to feel worried/fearful?! 😑😠🙄. What a blimmin robot that cop was, just ticking the boxes with her monotone voice and long silences, but to hear in the end she didn't even stick to the police word and investigate... did she even write any notes..?!?!? I bloody hope she got fired! Anyone know her name, I want to know more... 🤔 Rip BANAZ 💜✌ *This is the second video b2b I've watched about authority being slack and not doing their job to even minimum standard on the very first meeting of the person concerned and therefore results in death.. 1 time is two many when it comes to professionals slipping up. Ugh it makes my blood boil. Just sickening that the majority of the time when a person finds the strength to reach out to the police for help, whether how minor or major the situation is and whether its going to highly affect a person and get dismissed, and then they don't go back for the help ever again like they originally thought they could so easily but it becomes more humiliating being belittled from the ones who serve and protect.. 😕 From my own experience, I know the police are lazy, slack and willing to leave people in danger and with the feeling I have from the trauma, I will not put myself through that again, to be told to come back....okaaay umm so when lady, after the house has caught fire or when I'm home from hospital after the knife has already gone through the door and into my skull... What is wrong with humans! Ffs. Go home love and we will keep you updated with what your abuser says when we question him casually, yunno because we will get to you first to make sure your safe from his rage when he knows you went to the police.. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

You thought they escaped to eat fish & chips?

[@michaelmichael8314]

@Christina Reynolds The situations are not even remotely the same. Honor killings do not happen to people who are from the western world (when I say from, I mean originally from). Families in the west (with the exception of some recent immigrants from the East) do not kill their daughters if they disagree with their choices. For you to try to suggest that's the case is very disingenuous

[@isaiah5217]

Christina Reynolds So England would be the place to freely practice anti-secular tribalism? Extemism is an issue, one that shouldnt be oversimplified. However, refugee status is granted based on religious/ethnic persecution, which stems from imperial coups, sanctions, and war. And they don't just let anybody in.

[@trulyzaynah]

This story is so sad. Just read that Rahmat Sulemani hanged himself 10 years after Banaz’s cruel death. The man was devastated and never found love again. He said that there was “no life for him” after her death, that Banaz was “his present, his future, his hope.” Rahmat had spent the rest of his years under witness protection. My heart breaks for Banaz and Rahmat. What this family did to Banaz is unspeakable. She was surrounded by the absolute worst kind of people and the criminal justice system failed her.

And another female cop even contemplated bringing charges on her for being drunk and making up stories. How sad! This girl had nowhere to turn.

[@zaynabdaniyal4316]

This is one of the most heartbreaking parts of this case, if not the most. The fact that most girls are not brave enough to speak up or feel like they can't and are to afraid. Yet Banaz was brave and spoke up and still got ignored. She didn't just go once, even after nothing being done once she still had the bravery to keep going until it was too late. It's just heartbreaking. I am someone who is interested in true crime and watch a lot of videos, but this topic is something that really affects me, how not only can a parent do this to their baby girl, but how police can fail a beautiful young women on so many occasions. She was terrified by her family and she must have been absolutely even more terrified at the fact she wasn't being believed. The police are a massive part to play in the fact she ended up murdered. There is a lot of cases involving murder which can't be prevented but this is a case where genuinely this could have been avoided. She was a young women who was terrified of her family and they even questioned that, its honestly the most unbelievable thing you can imagine. All honor killing stories are horrific, but Banaz's is just definitely the most heartbreaking because she spoke up so many times. She was a very brave and beautiful girl who deserved so much better.

not all middle eastern dads kills their daughters . best case senario would be disowning their daughters . yeah ... it sucks 😏

[@crowarctia]

Houyeme Nouali, well some families in middle east don’t follow the Shariah law which is good but majority do which is just awful. We stayed in Middle East(Abu Dhabi/Dubai) for a year, some decent Arab families just let their kids do whatever they like, like exploring other religions, having to choose their own bf/gf, etc... while also making sure they’re not getting involved with bad people. Some families are just so bad that the father would beat his wife, children, etc... a family at the same floor we live in is actually a good one, but the one flat in the building got reported I think. Someone complained of shouting and stuff and I guess they contacted police? Anyways, I kinda envy good families that love and protect each other while giving each other freedom since I came from a traditional asian family myself. Like, the type of family that would belittle you and call you disrespectful when you try to defend yourself, and would verbally abuse you when people start noticing you’re showing symptoms of mental illness.

[@houyemenouali3096]

@@crowarctia yes i'm aware of the varieties im the arab world since i live in tunisia my self . and i can somehow relate to you because my family is pretty traditional amd strict . I cole with showing them and telling them exactly what they want ( a perfect college girl that has absolutly no problems ) while in fact i 'm quite the exact opposite of that since i've had some mental issues myself . i just reach to friends instead . now , don't get me wrong , my family loves and stuff but they can't handle the truth that i'm more than just a quite girl

[@crowarctia]

Houyeme Nouali, yeah it’s kinda sad that sometimes friends are more like family than your family. My family would just yell at me when I try to open up to them about problems so I talk to friends instead. I’m also losing motivation in school because no matter what I do, they’re still not enough for them. It’s like if I make a small mistake all the things I did for them fades away. It’s kinda funny tbh, it’s kinda funny how they’d just refuse medical help from our school after I got sent to the clinic multiple times because of panic attacks too and then blame me. Then they’d threaten to hurt me and my brother, they used to beat us when we were kids too just like any normal traditional asian family. Idk if it’s normal or not. I thought it was normal to fear your own family.

[@houyemenouali3096]

@@crowarctia i was taught to fear my family but as i grew out of my teenagehood i've realised that it isn't right . My good / bad school results are for me to focus on . I don't study to inpress them , i do it for myself . Bcause , as you said , no matter how good my results they'll never be truelly impressed . I've came to the conclusion that i'll work hard for the carrer , honor and self appreciation that I want and never for them . I've realised that i should live my life mainly for my self . they kind of understand me ( the carrer that i want ) and i feel that once i reach my goals and become independant they'll have to accept that i way differant than what they've had in mind . I've decided to completly shut them out of my mental concerns about 6 years ago ( they kinda regret it now ) but no . i'm not opening up to them cuz they'll shame me or misunderstand me . please try to seek help through freinds or even online , your mental health matters . as for school , trust me , you study only for yourself, not to impress anyone .

[@thewhizkid3937]

@@timeabiro3878 bingo. But murder is murder anywhere in the world and should be looked into thoroughly. In this case, what I got out of it was that she sort of wanted to protect her family. Don't ask me why as I am not the girl in this video, but then anyone would start to question why ? Why not expose all of them and ask the police or the proper authorities to do an investigation ? And if the location is correct. Iran I believe it was, what laws do Iran have that would prohibit an investigation from taking place ? And what anyone can and ought to draw from this case, is that are forced marriages a thing in that region of the world ? Because I find that to be as bizzare as the sacrifices I was reading of in the Holy Bible. And essentially what made her such a target ? What position or status or authority in that society did she hold ?

Poem for Banaz You were so precious like a child, however you were wrapped around a falsehood of lies, those who were around failed to see the signs, predators watch over, with their sharp teeth ready to Peirce your freedoms which were your from birthright. I hope you get the peace you deserve and God takes you in, into his reserve. Your memory will be with me from this day forward, and the memories of those who like you suffered at the hands of tyrants. May God bless those reading with the ability to fight evil and oppression at every opportunity.

[@Yaqiki1987]

It's easy to blame others but truth is she didnt help herself. 1145 - she says she left and went back to that same partner/family because of her culture and religion (police cant force her to not go back) Police wouldve offered her refuge many time but I guarantee you she refused. I can guarantee you she also refused to provide statements to support a rape or assault case. As sad as it is with the victims help the authority cannot do anything legally. Yes it sounds really bad what they did to her but reality is theres nothing police can do without the support of the victim

[@Yaqiki1987]

At 19:19 of the video when they mention she gave a statement it clearly reads her also stating on he statement she doesnt want police to do anything rather she just wants to report it. It further states she doesnt want to leave her partner and go to a place of safety which leaves her at high risk. These are the reasons the authority your blaming couldn't do much for her. Mate I work in this field it's hard when victims come for help but then they retract the statements and help they ask for because they dont want reprocausins or want to leave their home etc

This isn't about family honor, this is about control and in this situation male dominance over women. Breaks my heart that these women live in fear of their own family.

She trusted them, they let her down.

​@@j3in725 It does not have nothing to do with equality or non equality. This thing is going to continue happening 50, 100, 2000 years from now, not because someone thinks we are equal or not ... its because of the fact that bad people exists (and they are not going anywhere). It is simple as that. Rape, torture, child abuse etc ... all these things exists, and they will continue existing, because that is the world we are living in, those are the people we share space with. The only difference, is how justice system in general reacts and defends us from these bad people. And in this specific case, they failed miserably.

[@j3in725]

@@MK-ro4ue All those cases that you named are exactly cases of non equality, rape and abuse is always a power dynamic.
