MP Naz Shah on crimes of shame: cultural shift needed

Police in Pakistan have launched a murder investigation into the death of a woman, Samia Shahid, 28, from Bradford, who died in Northern Punjab, a possible victim of a so-called honour killing. Police are treating her death as suspicious after receiving information from her husband.

MP Naz Shah had been calling for Ms Shahid's death to be investigated. She has written to the prime minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, calling for her body to be exhumed.

The World Tonight spoke to her about the case.
