Turkish police have recovered the body of a 16-year-old girl they say was buried alive by relatives in an "honour" killing carried out as punishment for talking to boys. The girl, who has been identified only by the initials MM, was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre hole dug under a chicken pen outside her home in Kahta, in the south-eastern province of Adiyaman. Police made the discovery in December after a tip-off from an informant, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on its website. The girl had previously been reported missing. The informant told the police she had been killed following a family "council" meeting. Her father and grandfather are said to have been arrested and held in custody pending trial. It is unclear whether they have been charged. The girl's mother was arrested but was later released. Media reports said the father had told relatives he was unhappy that his daughter – one of nine children – had male friends. The grandfather is said to have beaten her for having relations with the opposite sex. A postmortem examination revealed large amounts of soil in her lungs and stomach, indicating that she had been alive and conscious while being buried. Her body showed no signs of bruising. The discovery will reopen the emotive debate in Turkey about "honour" killings, which are particularly prevalent in the impoverished south-east. Official figures have indicated that more than 200 such killings take place each year, accounting for around half of all murders in Turkey.www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/feb/04/girl-buried-alive-turkey

I say eye for an eye or same punishment for each an every member of that family that participated in this 'tradition' carried out by people who are wearing masks.
It is said that antidote is often composed of the same virus that is mixed with another element.

This is dumb. Her father and grandfather have commited a far greater crime than her daughter. These two men should be put in jail.

Unfortunately, this is a serious problem that still exists in Kurdish dominated areas, due to poor conditions resulting in stagnant envrionment in terms of human development, particularly in rural areas.

This is certainly a Kurdish issue. They need of course same punishment they used to that girl. What's known is that Kurds still live in clans and mary their cusins and relatives.. really weird ppl.

Get some proper economic and social development in the region and the Kurdish problem will go away by itself. They are pissed off that they have been ignored more than anything else. If Turkey starts to promote common values and improve the condition of the region I guarantee you the Kurds begin to oppose their own PKK.

Russians can screw you very well, don't expect hope but just respect them. Kurds are so fvcking absurd, so if they are your hope, joing their club - mary to each other.. Of course, as well as they can kill or bury their own kids.

Toski, it's not all like that. I mean, when they bomb their own countryside and a war occurs, they demolish their own infrastructure. In Eastern Turkey no taxes are collected from the peopl.e The gov' tspends a lot of $ building schools, gov't offices etc. to find it demolished.
but now I'm hopeful that it should be well.

also, majority of Kurds don't support the closed party DTP, they support AK party.
