16 year sentence in Honor killing
A man was sentenced to 16 years in prison for helping with the killing of his own sister. The sister went against him, breaking the code of silence against a family member and testified against him. The victim was 18 years old, lived in Israel. The Muslin clan took part in the killing. The in which the women testified against in, later turned up no convictions. The reasons for no convictions was due to the family members maintaining their code of silence. By this any and all evidence was dissolved. It was not until after her murder that other women and family members began to come forward and brake the silence.
It is a sad when family has to be quite over the fact that they know one of their loves ones are doing wrong. It takes on brave, strong person to stand up to that person and their clan. It also is a very touch situation to be in. The code of silence is well known in many different situations. If you are an inmate, the last thing you want to be is a snitch, so you find yourself falling under the code of silence. The police are the biggest known for the code of silence. This action is a form of corruption. But than on the other hand, people will do what they have to do in order to stay alive, and for their families to stay alive.
