2,800 honour crimes a year.
'Honour' violence is acceptable, say one in five young British Asians
A large number of young British Asians support violence against women who 'dishonour' their families, a Panorama investigation will claim today.
The hard-hitting BBC documentary reveals more than two thirds of Asians between the ages of 16 and 34 say communities should live according to 'honour' or 'izzat'.
Research carried out for the show found nearly one in five – 18 per cent – said certain acts thought to shame families were justification for violence.
The possible reasons included disobeying a father, marrying someone unacceptable or wanting to end a marriage.
Honour-related violence can include acid attacks, abduction, mutilations, beatings, and death. But 94 per cent of those questioned said there was 'never a justification' for murder.
BBC1's Panorama programme on honour killings will be screened tonight at 8.30pm.
A study of police data by the Iranian and Kurdish Women's Rights Organisation recorded over 2,800 honour crimes a year.
Nazir Afzal, lead prosecutor on the crimes for the Crown Prosecution Service, said: 'We don't know the true figure of honour killings. It's anything between 10 and 12 a year in this country.'
