Harry Potter Actress Threatened With "Honor" Murder

How does a skunk like John wolfson live with himself when he is facilitating the potential murder of a young woman? I am talking about the lawyer for the muslim brother and father of the Harry Potter actress Afshan Azad, who threatened to "honor" murder her for dating a Hindu man. Wolfson made up the story about her retracting the charges against her father and brother. Anyway this just goes to show even muslims who are seemingly assimilated and westernized, adhere to these barbaric seventh century practices. Not even a celebrity like miss Azad is exempt from this threat.

From Atlas Shrugs:
There have been myriad news reports of late that the badly beaten Afshan Azad (Muslim star of the Harry Potter movie) wanted to retract the honor killing charges against her father and her brother (who attempted to kill her for dating a non-Muslim young man). The thing is, the "retraction" did not come from her or her lawyer. The source is her would-be paternal and fraternal killers. They are would-be murderers for Islam, so what's a lie -- it's righteous, right?

Attorney John Wolfson, who is defending the pair, insists that Afshan has tried to retract her statement, regretting the outcome of the investigation. He states that she never wanted for her father and brother to be arrested.

Their spin is that "she tried on three occasions to retract her statement and has pleaded with the Crown Prosecution Service not to arrest" them. Is that so? So why was the restraining order against them issued after the arrest? And why are they prohibited from traveling to London, where she is staying? It is still unsafe for her there. She is not only a target for her family, but she is seen as an enemy of the Muslim community. After the father and brother were arrested, they expressed fear of reprisals from the Muslim community for failing to uphold their "family honor." Here is that admission.

Speaking at the family’s semi-detached home, her brother Ashraf, a customer services adviser, said: ‘We are going to get trouble from the community now. It is bad news for our safety, her safety.
‘My younger brother is going to get harassed at college. All our family is going to be harassed by the community because of this.
