According to an August 12 report from Gulf News, a young Saudi woman was recently killed by her father after he discovered that she had converted to Christianity. The father, who is a religious police member of the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, cut out his daughter's tongue and burned her to death following a heated debate about religion. In an online blog entry written a few days before her death, the woman mentioned how her family had begun to suspect her religious beliefs. Her father is reportedly being investigated for an honour related crime, which carries a significantly lesser sentence than murder.
