17 year old Kurdish girl stoned to death in Kurdistan of Iraq

According to report by Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan a 17 year old Kurdish girl named DOA (name translation: prayer) was publicly stoned to death in the Kurdistan province of Iraq . Doa was born to a Yazidi sect which is a religious minority of the Kurds. Doa was in a relationship with a Sunni Muslim boy that she wanted to marry.

At a tribal court, Doa was sentenced to death by stoning. This gruesome act was filmed but due to the extremely graphic nature of this film it is not being posted.

Stop Child Execution Campaign strongly condemn such inhumane practices and requests Government of Iraq, United States, United Nations, other governments, human rights organizations and media to demand an international inquiry to this crime against a young child and to hold those responsible accountable for this crime.
