Ambreen is a 16-year-old girl who was allegedly killed for helping one of her friends elope

village elders ordered the girl, named locally as Ambreen Riasat, to be strangled and set on fire during an "honour killing" for helping her friend escape the Galyat's Makol village and marry of her own free will.

Police believe the girl was killed on the orders of a 15 member Jirga – an assembly of leaders who make decisions of groups based on the teachings of Islam – after a young couple left Makol to get married on 23 April with the girl's help.
