Yes you're right... but the only ones that died from ongoing religious violence were women by their Islamic families.

Bail ruling delayed in alleged Dorval 'honour crime'

MONTREAL - A Quebec Court judge is expected to decide later this week whether a 38-year-old Dorval woman will be released on bail in a case where she is accused of attempting to kill her daughter in what police allege was possibly a so-called honour crime.

Johra Kaleki managed a quick smile when she first greeted her lawyers at the Montreal courthouse before her bail hearing Monday. But she also appeared to be emotionally drained soon after the hearing began.

After hearing evidence, which was placed under a publication ban, and arguments from both sides, Judge Salvatore Mascia told defence lawyer Isabel Sherman and prosecutor Anne Gauvin that he would render a decision sometime this week.

Kaleki faces three charges in all. Besides the attempted murder of her daughter, 19-year-old Bahar Ebrahimi, Kaleki is also charged with assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon.

Kaleki was arrested on June 13 after police found Ebrahimi injured and bloody inside the family’s home on Louise Lamy St.

Sherman called three witnesses, Kaleki’s husband, Ebrahim Ebrahimi, and two of the accused’s friends, to testify in the interest of obtaining a release for her client.

Gauvin said the Crown opposes Kaleki’s release based on two criteria: that she poses a risk to public safety, and that her detention is necessary in order to maintain confidence in the administration of justice.
