Nigina fled Tajikistan, an Asian Islamic republic formerly part of the Soviet Union, with her family and lived in Germany for several years in an apartment in Berlin's Tempelhof district. The 45-year-old Nigina had 10 children, five of whom lived at home and five of whom had their own apartments.

Emergency services took care of the 10 children (between 1 and 24 years old) and took them and two pets elsewhere. Nigina is not the woman's real name.

Human rights activists believe that 100,000 honour killings are carried out every year, most of which are not reported to the authorities and some are even deliberately covered up by the authorities themselves, for example because the perpetrators are good friends with local policemen, officials or politicians. Violence against girls and women remains a serious problem in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Serbia and Turkey. |
