Convert Child Tried for Murder in Northern Iraq
A 14-year-old convert to Christianity faces murder charges for stabbing her uncle to death in northern Iraq.
Asya Ahmad Muhammad is on trial in Dohuk city’s Juvenile Court for plunging a kitchen knife into her uncle’s chest last July after he began beating the teenager, her mother and younger brother.
The dead man’s family claimed the need to restore “honor,†supposedly lost because his female relatives were working in public, prompted Sayeed Muhammad’s attack on his brother’s family.
But the Christian girl’s defense lawyer said the real motive for the attack was religious. “The attack on Asya Muhammad and her mother was caused by [Sayeed Muhammad’s] family being upset with the father for becoming a Christian,ââ¬Â lawyer Akram Mikhael Al-Najar told Compass Direct News.
