A Pakistani court sentenced two men to hang after they were found guilty of killing a woman by throwing acid at her, police said. One of the two men was the 34-year-old victim's ex-husband, Ghulam Mohiuddin, said Saifullah Gujjar, a police officer in Multan, eastern Pakistan, where the sentence was handed down. He said Mohiuddin and a second man threw acid at Azra Bono in 2001 after she demanded and received a divorce. Violence against women is common in Pakistan's deeply conservative rural areas. Acid attacks are often carried out by men who have been rejected, or by brothers and fathers punishing women suspected of having sex outside of marriage.
