Pakistani held for setting woman on fire
2006-11-19
PARIS: A man accused of setting on fire a young woman last year in a Parisian suburb was arrested on Friday evening after flying back from Pakistan.

The 25-year-old Pakistani, who could not be named, was arrested at Roissy airport after arriving shortly after 10:00 pm (2100 GMT) and led away by a dozen police officers. He was due to appear before magistrates a few hours later and was expected to be placed under judicial investigation, the first step to formal charges, for attempted murder. It is alleged that on November 13, 2005 the man doused 18-year-old Chahrazad Belayni with petrol and set fire to her for refusing to marry him before bravely fleeing to Pakistan. The woman received 60 percent burns and has undergone several operations.

#1  Honor killings, acid throwings, gasoline dousings,... they used to be so exotic. Now, they're part of our (multi)cultural background. Embrace diversity!
