Afghan police have arrested four people who allegedly tried to force a woman into prostitution in western Afghanistan and beheaded her when she refused, officials said Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mah Gul, 20, was beheaded after her mother-in-law attempted to make her sleep with a man in her house in Herat province last week<\/strong>, provincial police chief Abdul Ghafar Sayedzada said.<\/p>\n

“We have arrested her mother-in-law, father-in-law, her husband and the man who killed her,” he said.<\/p>\n

Gul was married to her husband four months ago and her mother-in-law had tried to force her into prostitution several times in the past<\/strong>, Sayedzada said.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Najibullah, was paraded by police at a press conference where he said the mother-in-law lured him into killing Gul by telling him that she was a prostitute.<\/p>\n

“It was around 2:00 am when Gul’s husband left for his bakery. I came down and with the help of her mother-in-law killed her with a knife,” he said.<\/p>\n

The murder comes against a backdrop of a world outcry over the shooting by Taliban Islamists of a 14-year-old Pakistani girl, Malala Yousafzai<\/strong>, who had become a voice against the suppression of women’s rights.<\/p>\n

While Yousafzai’s case has made world headlines, people using social media in Afghanistan have made the point that oppression and violence against women are commonplace in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Abdul Qader Rahimi, the regional director of the government-backed human rights commission in western Afghanistan, said violence against women had dramatically increased in the region recently.<\/p>\n

Last year, in a case that made international headlines, police rescued a teenage girl, Sahar Gul, who was beaten and locked up in a toilet for five months after she defied her in-laws who tried to force her into prostitution.<\/p>\n
