On the morning of Sept. 3, 2022, neighbors in Berlin-Lichtenberg call the police. A Kosovo Albanian goes on a rampage with an axe in a ten-story building in a multicultural neighborhood. Officers break into an apartment and see a Kosovo Albanian killing his Ukrainian girlfriend with an axe. The police shoot the man dead.

Human rights activists believe that 100,000 honour killings are carried out every year, most of which are not reported to the authorities and some are even deliberately covered up by the authorities themselves, for example because the perpetrators are good friends with local policemen, officials or politicians. Violence against girls and women remains a serious problem in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Serbia and Turkey. |
