Eurabia Alert: “Threats halt woman lawyer who fought forced marriages,” from the Telegraph, with thanks to Ruth King:
A prominent Berlin lawyer has gone underground after receiving death threats for defending Muslim women who have been forced into marriage.
Seyran Ates, 43, a women’s rights advocate, was named Germany’s woman of the year in 2005 and has repeatedly spoken out against forced marriage, headscarves and honour killings. She said she had closed her practice as she could not operate safely.
Miss Ates said police had refused to protect her despite threats against her life, including a shooting incident in which a colleague was killed and she was seriously injured.
