Charity set up to help honour-based victims

A woman who risked her life to give evidence in a landmark honour killing case has set up a charity, True Honour, to help other victims. Sarbjit Athwal's sister-in-law was taken abroad and killed because she wanted a divorce. Despite threats not to speak out, Sarbjit testified against her mother-in-law - who was convicted of organising the murder. The mother of four now campaigns against honour abuse. Asian Network's Poonam Taneja reports.
