Palestinian women protest after suspected honor killing

None

Hundreds of Palestinian women have protested in front of the prime minister's office to demand an investigation into the death of a 21-year-old woman whom many suspect was the victim of a so-called honor killing.

 

Israa Ghrayeb, 21, died last month after being hospitalized with severe injuries. Friends and women's rights groups suspect her male relatives attacked her over a video shared online that purportedly showed her out with a man who had proposed to her.

 

The family says she jumped from a balcony of their home after being "possessed by demons."
