Description

When Souad was once seventeen she fell in love. In her West Bank village, as in such a lot of others, sex before marriage is regarded as a grave dishonor to one’s circle of relatives and is punishable by death. This was once her crime. Her brother-in-law was once given the task of meting out her punishment. One morning whilst Souad was once washing the circle of relatives’s clothes, he poured gasoline over her and set her on fire. Miraculously, she survived, rescued by women of her village, who put out the flames and took her to a local hospital. Horribly burned over seventy percent of her body and still denounced by her circle of relatives, Souad was once in a position to receive the care she needed only after the intervention of a European aid worker. Now in permanent exile from her place of birth, she has determined to inform her story and reveal the barbarity of a practice that continues to these days. Burned Alive …is the first true account ever published by a victim of an “honor crime.” Souad’s inspiring testimony is a shocking, moving, and harrowing story of cruelty and incomparable courage…and an inspiring call to action to end a heinous tradition.
