The death sentence that drags Dua back into a bloody feud
The circumstances surrounding the stoning to death of Dua Khalil Aswad by members of northern Iraq's ancient and tightly knit Yazidi sect were, in some ways, like those of many other so-called "honour killings".
Dua was accused of converting to Islam so she could marry the Sunni Muslim man she was in love with; the killing took place in public, in the town of Bashika, and a large crowd watched her die.
But one thing marked Dua's death out: as she struggled against her tormentors, several members of the crowd took footage of the violence on mobile phones. The killing is the only one to have been filmed, and the circulation of a video online prompted a new rise in tensions between the Yazidis and Muslims in northern Iraq.
