Finland: "'Honour Violence' - A Threat To Immigrant Women"
-- YLE reports: "Immigrant women in Finland are increasingly the victims of violence perpetrated in the name of family honour. In Helsinki, twice as many immigrant women have sought protection this year from violence than in previous years."
-- "Nasima Razmyar, who herself came to Finland as a refugee from Afghanistan, has been taking in growing numbers of immigrant women and girls at the Monika House shelter in Helsinki's Sornainen district. Some of these women have been forced into marriages, some beaten for disobedience or even threatened with death."
-- "This year, within just six months more than 30 women have sought refuge from honour violence at the facility. That is as many as during the whole of last year. As the coordinator at Monika House, Nasima Razmyar has the impression that the rise can be explained by growing numbers of women of marriageable age."
-- "Honour violence involves the subjugation of a woman within some ethnic groups carried out with the intent of controlling her sexual behaviour. It has been rumoured at Monika House that there have been honour killings in Finland, acts in which a family has decided to kill a disobedient daughter who, for example, has refused an arranged marriage."

(Maldives) Adhaalath calls for sharia law punishments in penal code
-- Minivan News: "The religious conservative Adhaalath Party has criticised President Mohamed Nasheed for saying the death penalty and amputation should not be included in the revised penal code."
-- "In a rally last night at Dharubaaruge (convention centre), senior officials of the party said commandments of God could not be questioned, debated or altered."
-- ""We changed the previous government because it defied Islam and opposed Islamic activities," said Assadullah Shafie. "If today he [President Nasheed] is directly trying to do things like this, I ask him to made amends. If he doesn't do it, I call on you beloved citizens to come out against it.""
-- ""Isn't this a religious problem? Islamic sharia is Islamic sharia. Things cannot be omitted from it...it doesn't need anyone else's opinion," he said."
-- "Under sharia law, the death penalty can be administered to those who commit murder and for crimes against the community, which includes apostasy, treason, rape, adultery and homosexuality. Amputation is the punishment prescribed for theft."
-- "During the parliamentary debate on the penal code, several MPs called for the introduction of the death penalty in the Maldives, arguing it was obligatory to enforce punishments stipulated in sharia law. The bill is now at committee stage for further review."
-- Mohamed Zuhair, president’s office press secretary "added that under the constitution, if a punishment was not specified, the law automatically reverted to sharia law. “Therefore it is not necessary to incorporate it in the penal code,” he said."
