Review
"Rana is utterly inspiring. She is a young woman of courage, committed to the principles of truth and justice … If enough people read this book, maybe the next time a young woman is being stoned to death for having fallen in love, someone will intervene to save her life." --Jane Fonda, actress, writer, and political activist
"Disturbing, informative and readable, 'Murder in the Name of Honour' tackles one of the most shocking crimes of the 21st Century. A remarkable insight into a horrifying crime and a call to action for everyone who cares agout human rights. A must read." --Kerry Kennedy, founder of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Human Rights, and chair of the Amnesty International USA Leadership Council
"Rana Husseini has almost single-handedly brought this crime to public attention through her newspaper articles and campaigns, and her achievements in journalism and human rights have been internationally recognized. She does not just pontificate from behind her desk Ms. Husseini has investigated the crime scenes, visited the prisons, and talked to both victims and perpetrators, and has produced a brilliantly researched and passionate attack on honour killings around the world. A powerful, heartfelt and important book." --Queen Noor of Jordan, International humanitarian activist
