Acid Attacks:

"My son could've been in my arms"

BBC    21 September 2017

 

 

 

 

Acid Attacks: "My son could've been in my arms" (FULL DOCUMENTARY)

Video        BBC Stories        21 September 2017

 

On average in 2016,

there were two acid attacks a day.

 

2017 is now projected to be the year

with the highest number of attacks

ever recorded in the UK.

 

Over the past few years

there has been a change

in the way acid has been used.

 

No longer just associated

with shame or honour attacks,

acid is now a weapon used by moped thieves

as well as a means of settling gang disputes.

 

We follow four separate acid attack victims

who highlight this growing trend.

Shalifea Ahmed murder        UK

 

The prosecution said Iftikhar Ahmed,

a 52-year-old taxi driver,

and his wife, Farzana Ahmed, 49,

from Warrington, Cheshire,

killed the teenager at the family home

on 11 September 2003

because they believed

she had brought shame on the family

with her desire to lead

a "westernised" lifestyle.

 

Shafilea had defied her parents' wishes

for an arranged marriage in Pakistan

to a much older man.

 

Her body was found

on a Cumbrian riverbank

in February 2004.
