Using this hint, we searched more and found several reports of this incident. As per reports, this incident is from Tal al-Saman area of ​​​​Raqqa, where the family members of a girl beat her in public. Actually, the girl had a tumor in her stomach, for which she went to a doctor for treatment. But the doctor did a wrong diagnosis and told her family that she was pregnant.

Due to the suspicion of her being pregnant, her three brothers and nephew beat her up in public. During this time, she screamed many times that she was not pregnant, but the family members did not listen to her. 

Due to the assault, Lina suffered severe head injuries and was admitted to a hospital in Raqqa. According to some reports, Lina’s sister Aisha Akla al-Ahmad was also beaten up by the family members. Taking action in the case, the police arrested three people, while one accused was absconding. 

Moving forward, we have come across a Free Press Journal report published on this incident on 18 April 2024. In this report too, citing local news, it has been described as an attack in the name of ‘honor’ in Syria’s Raqqa province.
