As an Islam critic, Sabatina James fights against forced marriages and violence. The tragic death of little Melek in the hospital in Vienna-Favoriten moves the prominent human rights activist. She made serious accusations against the “Krone” about honor killings and the cruel pressure of families.
Her real story reads like an adventure novel. Sabatina James – she keeps her real name secret – was born in Pakistan as the granddaughter of an imam. Even as a child, she thought it was a great injustice that women in her native village had to suffer under Sharia rules. At the age of ten, she came to Austria from Pakistan with her devout Muslim parents and siblings and grew up in Mühlviertel, Upper Austria. Due to her Western attitude to life, she increasingly experiences physical violence from her family. When she was 17, she was forced to marry her cousin in Pakistan.
