    Burned Alive was the shocking memoir of an Arab woman who survived a horrific “honor killing” attempt on her life. It garnered immense praise and plaudits, as an example of a truly courageous woman who spoke out against evil despite the risk.

    It also seems to have been a fake. http://tinyurl.com/6ctgsh

    Yes, both “Burned Alive” and “Forbidden Love” (”Honor Lost” in some countries) became literary scandals.

    Nonetheless, the crimes they describe do happen in these times.

    The STOP HONORCIDE! campaign was launched on Mother’s Day 2008. The goal of the campaign is to prosecute honorcides to the fullest extent of the law. We want honorcide to be classified as a hate crime and we advocate for every existing hate crime legislation to be amended to include honorcide.
