Tess not had chance to read that link yet, but I am reading about anti sematism (sp) becoming a huge problem in the Labour party? Is that right?
Read very sad article today about police failing victims of honor crime, they dont understand it and are "returning women to their families/communities even though its their relatives or senior members of the community who pose greatest risk to them"
" returning victim to the people who represent the greatest threat to her, and its almost always a her....It may be her parents or extended family. Women are also at risk when returned to senior members of the community who may be the primary contact between the police and that community"
"According to a report last year its clear that many many instances of honour based violence, forced marriage and FGM go un reported"
" The people perpetrating these crimes need to understand we have one system of criminal justice in this country and these assaults and abuses and worse are crimes adn they will be vigorously pursed.
" Murder is murder there are no cultural sensitives involved. Female GM is child abuse or grievous bodily harm, forced marriage may be kidnap and if the child is under 16 its rape. Its as simple as that"
I wish the Judicary, the police and everyone in between would all get on the SAME BLOODY PAGE with it all!
