Yasmeena Ali
Khadija Cohen (née Patman), better known as Yasmeena Ali (Dari: ياسمينه علی), is a British-Afghan pornographic actress. She is perhaps best known for her involvement in a 2020 criminal case, in which her father and his cousin planned to kill her because of her choice of career and they believed she had converted from Islam to Judaism.[1] BiographyAli was born Khadija Patman[2][3] in a Taliban-controlled area of Kabul on 1 December 1993. When she was seven years old, she moved with her family to England. Yasmina and her education was quite successful and was able to attend college and attain a social workers degree.[2] Her parents raised her as Muslim but Yasmin wasn’t a fan of religious education due to lack of interest, Yasmina at the age of 19 developed a friendship with a Jewish boy which caused family controversy and issues, she was kicked out of the family home for dating a Jewish boy and as result her family stripped contact from her.[2] Ali launched her career when she met pornographic director David Cohen, whom she later married.[4] The two previously lived in Austria and moved to Slovakia in 2017.[2] Ali became embroiled in a criminal case in 2020 when her father and his cousin were arrested for plotting to murder her because she had left Islam and had "disgraced the family" with her choice of career.[2][3] The British National Crime Agency stated that the two took several trips to Slovakia in 2018 in order to search for her, and that a hitman offered to kill her for $70,000.[2][3] Ali now advocates for women's rights and "condemns liberal activists who turn a blind eye to the violation of these rights".[5][6][7][8][9] References
