Mother deprived from visiting daughter's grave

A video went viral on social media last week of a mother wailing over her dead daughter from outside the fence of a house in Deir Qanoun Nahr, Tyre. The mother was not allowed to reach her daughter’s grave built by her Ex-husband inside his residence to prevent her from entering. Recalling, that this mother has been prohibited from seeing her deceased child girl for almost two years. According to the area’s residents and neighbors, the couple had their marital disputes. And, the father of the girl, Ali Ismail, forbid his Ex, Lina, to see her own daughter, who was found killed by a gunshot last December under mysterious circumstances. In protest over the continued suffering of women by the bigoted Jaafari Courts rulings, the National Campaign to Increase Age of Custody for the Shiite Sect staged a sit-in on Saturday in front of the Supreme Islamic Shiite Council in Beirut with the theme, ‘The Outrage of Mothers’. Demonstrators chanted slogans like, “Corruption, corruption, inside inside religious turbans” and “Make the Court’s fence taller, for mothers will soon mount the barricades”, demanding the raise of the age of custody.
