    Default More than 1,000 'Honor Killings' in Pakistan last year alone

    ...according to this news story:

    http://news.yahoo.com/pakistani-coup...171650102.html

    "Almost 1,000 women lost their lives last year in so-called "honor killings" in the conservative South Asian nation, according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. Activists say the actual number is much higher as most cases go unreported."

    Jesus H Christ, I had no idea it was that common. Horrifying...

    ETA--the description of her injuries is pretty graphic. Just a warning.
