school punishment

The details of the murder of the girl Rania at the hands of her father - according to a security source - after she returned from Al-Balqa University in the city of Salt - where she studies - and her father asked her to see the results of her academic grades in the second semester of her first academic year, and the surprise was that her grades were below the required level.

Then, according to the source, the father imprisoned his daughter in one of the rooms of the house, and closed the door on them tightly so that no one would stop him from hitting her, and beat her with a thick electric wire, and continued in the same situation for about an hour without mercy or listening to her cries and distress.

Slowly, the girl’s voice subsided and she became motionless. Then her father, mother and brothers tried to shake her and try to lift her from her place, but the amount of beatings and blood flowing from her limbs and her back prevented that, then her uncle intervened and called an ambulance in an attempt to rescue her.

Activists said that "the girl is studying at the university with a scholarship from the Ministry of Higher Education, and if she scores low, she will lose the scholarship, and then she will have to study at her father's expense, which prompted him to punish his daughter for her low grades in this brutal way."

big shock

The Director of the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Jordan, Dr. Adnan Abbas, said that "the autopsy of the slain girl's body revealed that the bruises as a result of the violent beating made up 50% of the girl's body," and he justified the cause of death by internal bleeding under the skin.

In turn, the National Center for Human Rights denounced the unfortunate incident, stressing that it contradicts the principles of our religion and our noble value system, calling on the competent authorities to take measures to protect the most vulnerable groups.

In a statement, the Center called on the authorities to study the causes of this reprehensible and strange phenomenon, and to work to eradicate it, which would prevent its recurrence as a grave offense to human dignity.

The Center looks forward to a double role by the government and civil society institutions in order to expand the culture of human rights within the local communities at the individual, family and institutional levels, and to introduce this culture into the curricula and curricula, in addition to preaching and guiding through places of worship, and within a far strategic plan

through networking sites across many colleagues Rania al -

Abadi for their grief to her death in

this way, and these Noor Hashem ,

which I

wrote on Twitter ,

saying "Rania was a

diligent student, and without swearing are students following Ptders day and

night because of the

psychological pressure following Btaatardilh fear follows Then she was carrying a substance and her father came to mislead her.”

Rania was a diligent student, and without two alliances, she is one of the students who studies day and night because of the psychological pressure she is subjected to and the fear that she has that she is carrying a subject and her father comes to humiliate her at her lowest expectations!

I can't imagine how many times she begged her father to stop beating him and pick him up the last time with failure. The execution is small for him.
