HONOR KILLINGS STILL TREATED LENIENTLY IN "MODERATE" PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY - The PA changed the law for public relations purposes, but does NOT enforce it

Abbas lied: "Honor killings" still treated leniently in PA
 
In 2010, the PA cabinet reclassified "honor killings" to be considered murder. It is unclear if this made any difference in the actual law.

In 2011, to much fanfare, Abbas
claimed to remove the leniencies in existing PA law (based on Jordan's penal code) that would make "honor killing" a reason for a lighter sentence when killing a family member. Significantly, it still allowed leniency in sentencing if the victim had committed adultery or "other acts of sexual impropriety." It merely removed the leniency if the killer claimed he or she did it for "honor" reasons.

In other words, Palestinian Arabs who killed their sisters and daughters and wives could get shorter sentences as long as they claimed that the victims deserved it.

MERIAM IBRAHIM FREE AT LAST - Arrives with family in Rome - She had been condemned to death by Sudan for marrying a Christian

Meriam Ibrahim meets Pope Francis  with her daughter Maya in her arms,  in his Santa Marta residence, at the Vatican. The Christian mother was put on death row for refusing to become a Muslim
The Sudanese woman who was sentenced to death for "apostasy" and made to give birth with her legs chained together in jail has finally escaped the country on an Italian government plane.
 
TV footage showed Meriam Ibrahim and her family arriving at Rome's Ciampino airport alongside the Italian deputy foreign minister, after her case triggered outrage and condemnation around the world.
 
Meryam Ibrahim had been stuck inside the US embassy in Sudan for a month and had been expected to travel at some point to America, where her husband has citizenship. 
 
Despite quashing her death sentence last month, the Sudanese government had blocked her from leaving the country with her husband and two small children, claiming her travel documents were "falsified".  She and her baby, who was born in prison, were blessed by the pope. 

Photo below shows Meriam Ibrahim and her two children, arriving in Rome, and Italian Deputy Foreign Minister Lapo Pistelli who was there to give her and her family an official welcome (Both photos AP and Daily Mail).  Her husband was also on that flight.
