Harry Potter Star Beaten and Threatened with "Honor Killing" for Dating Non-Muslim
Afshan Azad is still in hiding after being beaten by her father and brother. Too terrified of recriminations from her family and the ummah.
The media is hard pressed to ignore the religious motivation, Islam, in this attempted femicide, as both parents were both born in the UK. A glaring fact sadly ignored by all media. This story as a whole, in fact, is sadly ignored by most media.

A Harry Potter actress was beaten, called a 'slag' and threatened with death after she met a young man who was not a Muslim, a court heard today.
Victim Afshan Azad, 22, played Padma Patil, a classmate of the teenage wizard, in the blockbuster Hollywood films based on the children's books by JK Rowling.
She was assaulted and branded a 'prostitute' after meeting a young Hindu man, a relationship which brought anger from her father, Abul Azad, 53, and brother, Ashraf, 28, Manchester Crown Court heard.
The frightened star, who has featured in four of the popular films, later fled through her bedroom window after threats were made to kill her.
But despite attempts to get her to come to court for the trial of her father and brother, Miss Azad, who is believed to be living with friends in London, would not attend voluntarily, the court was told.
Both men were charged with making threats to kill her and her brother was also charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm on his sister.
Instead of both going on trial today, the prosecution decided to accept a guilty plea of assault by her brother, and both men were formally found not guilty of making threats to kill.
