Imam speaks out on male honour abuse

An imam tells the story of how he was sexually abused by a relative as a child - and the difficulty he has faced sharing his story.

Perhaps most shockingly, the relative went on to become an imam himself.

He speaks to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Newsnight's Katie Razzall as part of an in-depth report into honour abuse among men in the UK.

Due to the sensitivity of the subject, he is anonymous and his words are read by an actor.
