Father charged in teen's killing KENYON WALLACE Globe and Mail Update December 11, 2007 at 10:28 AM EST A 16-year-old girl died in hospital late Monday night, hours after police in Mississauga received a call from a man saying he had killed his daughter. Muhammad Parvez, 57, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of his daughter, Aqsa Parvez. He will appear Tuesday in a Brampton court. The victim's 26-year-old brother, Waqas Parvez, has been charged with obstructing police. Students at nearby Applewood Heights Secondary School in Mississauga said the teen had recently clashed with her family after ceasing to wear a hijab and adopting a more Western style of dress. Police arrest father after daughter critically hurt According to police, the chain of events began yesterday morning with a phone call from a home near Hurontario Street and Eglinton Avenue. "At 7:55 a.m., we received a 911 call from a man claiming that he had just killed his daughter," Constable J.P. Valade of Peel Police said. Constable Valade said when paramedics arrived at the single-family detached home on Longhorn Trail, they found a 16-year-old suffering from life-threatening injuries. The teenager was taken immediately to Credit Valley Hospital and later transferred in critical condition to the Hospital for Sick Children, where she died, according to police. Some of the teen's schoolmates said the Grade 11 student had rebelled against her parents recently by refusing to wear a hijab. Ms. Parvez ran away from home at the end of September, classmate Kate Daykin, 15, said. "It's been happening for a while and she kept going back and forth. ... She said that it was too complicated living at home and her dad was hard to deal with." Another classmate told The Globe and Mail that "her family was really religious, and I think her dad was angry because she never wore religious clothing." Neighbours said they were stunned to see police cruisers and a police vehicle parked in front of the five-bedroom home. "This is usually such a quiet neighbourhood," said a next-door neighbour who asked not to be named. "My thoughts and prayers are with the family." One of the young woman's classmates communicated a more desperate view. "Sixteen-year-old girls worry about makeup and boys, not about surviving," another classmate said. "It's not right. She's 16, damn it." With a report from Dakshana Bascaramurty

Father killed daughter for not wearing hijab, her friends say Breitbart.com ^ \| 12/11/07 breitbart.com Friends and classmates of a 16-year-old girl who police say was murdered by her devout Muslim father in a Toronto suburb told local media Tuesday she was killed for not wearing a hijab. Police said in a statement they received an emergency call at 7:55 am local time Monday from "a man who indicated that he had just killed his daughter." The victim, Aqsa Parvez, was "rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but tragically passed away late last night." Her father, Muhammad Parvez, 57, was arrested at the scene and will be formally charged with murder when he appears in court Wednesday, said police. The girl's friends, meanwhile, told local media she was having trouble at home because she did not conform to the family's religious beliefs and refused to wear a traditional Islamic head scarf, or hijab. "She wanted to go different ways than her family wanted to go, and she wanted to make her own path, but he (her father) wouldn't let her," one of her classmates told public broadcaster CBC. "She loved clothes," another of her friends, Dominiquia Holmes-Thompson, told the daily Toronto Star. "She just wanted to show her beauty ... She just wanted to dress like us, just like a normal person." According to her friends, Aqsa had worn the hijab at school last year, but rebelled in recent months. They said she would leave home wearing a hijab and loose-fitting clothes, but would take off her head scarf and change into tighter garments at school, then change back before going home at the end of the day. The victim's 26 year-old brother was also charged with obstructing police in the investigation.
