A gang described as acting in the name of ‘honour’ has been jailed for almost 40 years after abducting a man and torturing him over his relationship with one of the attackers’ sister. The case highlights the severe violence that can arise when relatives seek to control or punish a woman’s romantic choices.

The victim was reportedly forced into the boot of a car before being taken to a shipping container, where he was tortured. The combined prison sentences imposed on the gang total nearly four decades, reflecting the seriousness of the kidnapping and assault.
