Little legs swinging below her tulle princess dress as she sits on a bench in Cork, four-year-old Amayra stares at the ground as her parents explain tearfully that her life is in danger.

Death threats have allegedly been made by her relatives against the family in a Bangladeshi community where extrajudicial killings are terrifyingly common and ‘honour’ killings still exist.
