Police say that 17,000 women are victims of honor killing in Great Britain every year.

I sympathise with the article, but that's nonsense.

17,000 women are victims of ird-related violence in the UK each year: and a percentage of this is murder. There are not 17000 ird killings a year in the UK

Indeed, we might be in a a mess over here but 17,000 such killings is a fantasy figure. Thanks for pointing that out.
