Iran hangs woman despite campaign

[jchima]

Iran has gone ahead with an execution of a woman despite an international campaign urging a reprieve.

Reyhaneh Jabbari, 26, was hanged in a Tehran prison on Saturday morning. She had been convicted of killing a man she said was trying to sexually abuse her.

Jabbari was arrested in 2007 for the murder of Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former intelligence ministry worker.

Human rights group Amnesty International said her execution was "deeply disappointing in the extreme".

Yet America is suppose to be evil and sexist. The left are fucking idiots and fools.

 

[Anathema]

At least in Iran sentences for criminal acts are carried out regardless of the squawking of brainless Leftist geese. You can disagree with her conviction and sentence but unlike here in the USA it won't change anything. Oh thst the US Justice (LOL) System had that much consistency and backbone.

"Reyhaneh Jabbari walked to the gallows at dawn on Saturday in Tehran's Evin prison after failing to secure a reprieve from the murder victim's relatives within the 10-day deadline set by sharia law in force since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The U.S.-based Iran Human Rights Documentation Center put the total number of executions at 531 for this year, as of Sept. 30."

So true, and that is why so many thousands of Iranians left when those crazies came into power -- even if they had to risk their lives climbing over mountains to get out. There are probably so many more still living in Iran who would leave if they had the means to do so.

I fail to see the problem? ........

She was convicted in a legal court of law and found guilty of murder.

Why are some people here siding with a criminal?

Man tries to Rape her, so she defends herself..............Typical of places like Iran.

But apparently the jury didn't believe her story. .....

How disgusting. I'm not surprised. Iran tries to come across to the rest of the world as if they care about human rights, but it's quite obvious that they are still violating their citizens' human rights with each and every opportunity they get. I think they enjoy torturing and murdering people. They MUST. Otherwise they would stop doing these kinds of barbaric things!

Of course they didn't. She's a woman! I imagine she couldn't come up with the required amount of witnesses to her rape.

Edit: Learn to use the quote function properly! Good Lord!

There was nothing barbaric about it.

She had a trial......was found guilty.......and the punishment carried out.

No different than many 1st degree murder trials in the USA. .......

Of course it's barbaric, and it is a well known fact that Iran murders it's citizens. They are on the Human Rights Watch, and they treat woman horribly.

 

[ChrisL]

If you are a woman living in Iran, you might as well be a dog. They'd probably treat you better.

 

[ChrisL]

Iran

How can anyone defend these monsters?

A legal trial and just verdict isn't barbaric but the sign of a highly civilized society and culture.

fyi The USA is continually featured on the Human Rights Watch list of offending nations. ......

There is no such thing as a "fair" trial if you are a woman in the ME. Women who are raped there might as well just kill themselves on their own terms rather than suffering for months or years in an Iranian prison cell.

 

[Sunni Man]

Iran is a very civilized and modern Islamic country with a codified system of law and justice.

Just because it doesn't fit into your western colonial definition of jurisprudence doesn't negate that fact. .....

No they are not, as anyone can see by just reading the news.

Don't do the crime is you can't do the time.

Or pay the ultimate price.

She murdered, she was hanged.

We need more swift and certain punishment here.
