Teen tears into parents at sentencing after alleged 'honor killing' plot caught on video

Prosecutors said the October 2024 attack happened after the victim ran away from home to escape her father, who was allegedly trying to send her to another country. According to court documents, the teenager told police that her father had recently threatened her with an "honor killing" for refusing an arranged marriage to an older man abroad.

A school counselor reportedly helped the victim find shelter at "Safe Haven," and her plan was to take a city bus from the school to get there. While waiting for the city bus, the victim's father allegedly approached her and "said she needed to go home," the affidavit states.

"He would not take no for an answer and began pulling at her shirt. She said that once she was placed into a choke hold, she was unable to breathe or speak, and then passed out," the affidavit says, adding later that the victim believes she lost consciousness several times while her father allegedly choked her.

During sentencing, the outlet reported that Judge Christine Schaller emphasized the severity of the attack and said that the victim likely would have died had bystanders not intervened.

They received the maximum sentences allowed of 20 months in prison for the father and nearly a year for the mother, KING 5 reported. 

As part of the sentencing, Ihsan Ali was also ordered not to have any contact with his daughter for the next 10 years.

Fox News Digital reached out to the parents' attorney and Thurston County Court for comment.
