What is Honour Killing : Stories of Men Who Killed about?

Honour killing persists across the Middle East, where regimes refrain from tackling primitive traditions for fear of sparking unrest. Ayse Onal interviewed imprisoned men in Turkey convicted of killing their mothers, sisters and daughters. The result is a revealing and ultimately tragic account of ruined lives both the victims and the killers in a country where state and religion conspire to hush up the killing of hundreds of women every year. Ayse Onal has won many awards for her work as a journalist, including the Courage in Journalism Award, and has reported on Turkish politics, organised crime and conflicts in the Middle East. She has been blacklisted by the government, threatened by Islamic fundamentalists, placed on death lists, arrested and shot. She lives in Istanbul.
