Domestic violence cases spark protests in Lebanon

In this Tuesday, March 4, 2014 photo, Nada Sabbagh weeps in front of a picture of her daughter, Manal Assi, who was killed last month, as she recounts during an interview with The Associated Press how her son-in-law killed Manal in front of family members, south of Beirut, Lebanon. The killing of Sabbagh’s daughter is one of three domestic violence slayings in Lebanon in recent months, drawing new attention to women’s rights in this country of 4 million people. Although Lebanon appears very progressive on women rights compared to other countries in the Middle East, domestic violence remains an unspoken problem and the nation’s parliament has yet to vote on a bill protecting women’s rights nearly three years after it was approved by the Cabinet. (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein)BEIRUT (AP) — Nada Sabbagh received a brief, chilling telephone call from her son-in-law last month telling her: "Come to your daughter. I am going to kill her."
