And the victim, who was badly beaten and burned, is begging for
leniency for her family. Of course. Honor violence is part of Islamicteaching.
The girl knows this. She is a prisoner to her ideology. Horror.
Iraqi
family pleads guilty in 'honor beating' ABC
PHOENIX - A tearful victim desperately tried to defend her family
members, who are accused of tying her to a bed, beating her and holding a knife
to her throat for talking to a boy.
"I want my mom," she told the judge. "I want
to be with my family."
Police reports alleged that the 19-year-old Iraqi's mother,
father, and younger sister all participated in the beatings.
Her mother was arrested a back in February. Her father
and sister were arrested shortly after when police learned of a
second incident where the victim was burned with a hot spoon for refusing to
agree to an arranged marriage.
All three originally pleaded "not guilty" in the case.
The family told ABC15 in an interview shortly after the mother's
arrest that the story from police was exaggerated, and was never as serious as
it was detailed in police reports.
Friday, the victim's mother changed her plea to guilty for
unlawful imprisonment. The father and sister also plead guilty to assault and
misconduct charges.
The
victim begged the judge to allow her to speak. He informed her she
would have an opportunity to address the court at sentencing, which is
scheduled for November 6
