A girl was dragged to an abandoned house and shot by her tribe in a so-called 'honour killing' after she tried to run away with her lover and refused to marry her cousin in Syria.
A video circulated online shows the young woman, who has been identified as 18-year-old Eida Al-Hamoudi Al-Saeedo, being shot in a desolate village on the outskirts of the northeastern Syrian city of Al-Hasakah.
Eida had tried to run away with her lover but her family and tribe followed her before capturing her, reports Akhbaralaan.net.
The horrific footage shows Eida being dragged by a group of three men who were carrying guns while she screams for help.
The video then pans to other men who are stood by a wall of the abandoned house before three shots can be heard.
The footage then shows Eida lying on the ground and she appears to be struggling to get up, before one man points a gun at her and shoots her dead. The woman's body is covered with a red blanket by the tribesmen.
Just days after the video of Eida's murder emerged on social media, a 16-year-old girl was strangled to death by her father in another 'honour killing' after she was raped by a relative.

The young man had proposed to her but Eida's family had prohibited the marriage because he was from a different clan.
After the 'honour killing', Eida's family published the video on social media 'in order to announce cleansing the shame according to their tribal beliefs', the SOHR said in a statement.

'SOHR strongly denounces this horrible crime calling for bringing the perpetrators on charges of murder and publishing the videos under the name of 'honor crime', the Observatory said in a statement.
Eida had been starved and beaten for many days before being executed by her family, said the Violations Documentation Center in northern Syria, which identified Eida Al-Hamoudi Al-Saeedo as the victim of the attack.
'[She was] brutally assaulted until the crime was completed by killing her with machine guns and pistols by more than one person,' a spokesperson for the center told the news site.
'[The family] bragged about publishing a horrific video clip showing the murder of a girl by bullets, near an abandoned house in the countryside.
