The video of Sajjad Heydari, an Iranian man carrying a severed head, went viral on Reddit. The NCRI’s Women’s Committee said that not a week goes by without some type of honor killing making headlines, writes NY Post.
They added that the foundation of the country’s law and society is deep-rooted with misogyny and patriarchal culture, which results in the tragic surge in honor murders.
Furthermore, a women’s rights organization in Ahvaz mentioned that over 60 women, some as young as 10, have been the victims of honor killings in the last two years.
And, because most families do not file a lawsuit, none of the murdering relatives have been brought to justice.
