Father kills daughter for visiting her mother

A 12-year-old girl was tortured for six hours by her father before being shot dead for visiting her mother.

A video of the little girl with severe injuries on her face and neck and talking to her father after being badly beaten up by him and before being shot dead has gone viral on the social media.

Many said that the little girl was from Saudi Arabia, which the National Saudi Human Rights Society denied.

An official from the National Human Rights Society said that the video is real and it is that of a Yemeni girl called 'Ma'areb' who was killed by her father in Yemen five months ago.

This sad incident caused a wave of anger on the social media as many wanted the authorities to kill the father the same way he killed his daughter.
