New law on honour oppression has not led to any prosecutions. Victims are reluctant to report a family member or relative to the police.
Police Inspector Sofia Myrén believes that the police's competence is insufficient at present. It is not enough to prove the motive is honour, it must also be proven that the same perpetrator repeated the acts several times over a certain period of time. It's important to raise the knowledge of all professionals so that they can pick out all these crimes that actually happen.
