Saving Aqsa Parvez‪.‬

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] LAST JUNE, Muhammad Parvez and his twenty-nine-year-old son, Waqas Parvez, were sentenced to life in prison by a court in Ontario, Canada for the murder of Muhammad's daughter and Waqas' sister, Aqsa Parvez. Aqsa was a rebellious sixteen-year-old, the youngest of eight children. She objected to her father's demand that she wear a traditional Muslim hijab, and wanted to get a job so she could have the money to lead a normal teenage life. After she ran away from home and then returned, she told her friends she feared for her life, because her father had sworn on the Koran that he would kill her if she ran away again. She was right. Three months later, after another battle royale over her disobedience in attending her first movie, Aqsa fled once more. Her brother picked her up from a school bus stop and took her home; half an hour later she was dead.
