Al Arabiya. A 15-year old Egyptian girl who rejected her familyā€™s pressures to wear the Islamic headscarf, known as the hijab, shot herself to death using her fatherā€™s handgun, Egyptian and regional media have reported. The girlā€™s suicide, which took place last week in an area of the Giza province, was reported by the popular Egyptian news website Youm7. The girl, identified only as Amira was subjected to ā€œviolenceā€ by her family after she removed her hijab. Preferring death to living under violence, Amira reportedly ā€œsneakedā€ into her fatherā€™s room, took his gun and opened fire on herself, an investigation found, according to Youm7. Hat Tip: RoP
