This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Islamabad, Pakistan, to discuss the case of Noor Mukadam, a diplomat's daughter, who was beheaded by Zahir Jaffer, her one time boyfriend. After turning turning down his proposal, Noor was tortured and SAed before Zahir finally killed her. She managed to escape his home twice, only to be intercepted by Zahir's domestic staff. Stay tuned until the end for a special segment from our good friend, Areej, about life as a woman in Pakistan.
