Iran hangs woman despite campaign

[ChrisL]

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?

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.

Thankfully not everyone is as ignorant as you.

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

You are reading western biased news.

So of course you have a negative outlook and opinion about Iran. ......

Women in Iran Deem Rape Laws Unfair By Shadi Sadr

In Iran, a woman awaits a new execution date for killing the man she
says tried to rape her. There, if a woman is raped, she can be
charged with adultery. If a woman kills her attacker, she can be
charged with murder. Both are punishable by death.


TEHRAN, Iran (WOMENSENEWS)--One week after Afsaneh Nowrouzi learned
that her execution had temporarily been stayed by a Supreme Court
decree, she eagerly anticipated a visit with her husband to
celebrate the news. Convicted for killing the head of security
police on an Iranian island in the Persian Gulf, the 34-year-old
mother of two has spent the last six years in a desolate prison in
southern Iran, despite her claim the man attempted to rape her.

Nowrouzi's husband Mostafa Jahangiri was told he could have a
private meeting with his wife. But after traveling to the Persian
Gulf port city of Bandar Abbas, where Nowrouzi is being held at the
notorious Bandar Abbas prison, Jahangiri was turned away by prison
authorities.

Upset by the news, Nowrouzi hit her head repeatedly on the wall of
her cell. A prison guard sprayed her with tear gas to subdue her,
infecting her eyes for almost a week.

Nowrouzi's execution date--most likely by hanging--was set for mid-
October. But after widespread protests by the Iranian press, female
members of parliament and international human rights organizations,
the date was temporarily delayed earlier in the month by Ayatollah
Hashemi Shahroudi, the head of the judiciary, which is the highest
court in Iran.

The bottom line is that Iran took a dangerous convicted criminal off the streets in the interest of public safety.

I wish the U.S. had a fair and swift justice system like Iran. ......

If a man is proven to have raped a woman, his punishment is
execution by hanging. But in almost all cases, the man is set free
because judges traditionally look for signs in the behavior and
clothing of the woman in order to explain away the act of rape. A
Persian-language proverb goes like this: "It is the tree that hosts
the worm," meaning rape is caused by women and their suggestive
behavior.

The penal code, which is based on Iranian interpretations of Islamic
law, states that if a woman injures or kills a rapist in self-
defense, she will not be prosecuted. But proving self-defense is
very difficult. The woman must demonstrate that her defense was
equal to the danger she faced. Additionally, she must prove
inflicting harm was her the last resort in escaping rape. According
to press reports, in the last year one woman successfully argued
self-defense while being tried for murdering an alleged rapist.

The Iranian government does not publish prison records, and there
are no official statistics about the number of women who have been
sentenced to death by stoning for rape. In 2002, the press reported
four cases, but it is generally believed the number is higher.

I have no reason to trust the courts in the Middle East. As I've seen women executed for being raped in these countries under Sharia law. Like Stoning to death a woman for being Raped in Pakistan and others.

I doubt she got a fair trial. Whether she killed in Self Defense of being abused by a goat herder may still be in question on my knowledge of the situation is mute. Under the barbaric Sharia courts she was a dead woman the second she even thought about grabbing a knife.

If she is innocent, which is possible given the system of Justice in LAH LAH land........may those who sentenced her have a Warm Place in Hell.

The kangaroo court system in Iran is pretty much known world wide, especially when it comes to women. It seems as if is a lot of deep-seated hatred for women in Middle Eastern countries.

'What Should a Woman Do?'
Golku, a student in her 20s, says all women in Iran feel trapped by
the lack of legal protection they have against rape. "Which of us
does not put a knife in our purse, when we leave our house? All of
us contemplate about how to defend ourselves, if we feel unsafe in a
situation," she writes in her public Web log, an increasingly
popular means for young women in Iran to talk freely and anonymously
about social and political issues.

In an open letter last August, journalist Fereshteh Ghazi, who
writes for the Tehran-based daily Etemad newspaper, told the
presidents of the executive, legislative and judiciary branches of
the Islamic government that women who face rape have almost no
recourse under Iranian law.

"What should a woman do, if she found herself in Afsaneh Nowrouzi's
situation?" she asked in her letter.

Sahar Sajjadi, a medical student and member of the Tehran-based
Women's Cultural Center, says women have no control over their own
bodies. "In this country, we cannot discuss this simple concept that
no means no," she said.

Shadi Sadr is an independent journalist residing in Iran, who covers
women's issues. She is also editor in chief of the Web site Women in
Iran.

Atefah Sahaaleh - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

final arrest[edit]
She was arrested after being raped by a 51 year old man. According to Islamic Sharia Law, she was convicted for "crimes against chastity", based on her admission, obtained through torture, that she repeatedly had sex with 51-year-old ex-revolutionary guard turned taxi-driver Ali Darabi, a married man with children.[1] She was raped and tortured for 3 years,[2] a secret from both her family and the authorities. However, while in prison, she finally told her grandmother, saying that afterwards she could only walk on all fours because of the pain.[3] In the court the judge was Haji Rezai. As Atefah realised she was losing her case, she removed her hijab, an act seen as a severe contempt of the court, and argued that Ali Darabi should be punished, not she. She even removed her shoes and hit the judge with them.[4] The judge later sentenced her to death.

According to the BBC, the documents presented to the Supreme Court of Appeal described her as 22 years old, but her birth certificate and death certificate stated that she was 16. The issue of her age was not brought to proper attention before it was too late.

Amnesty International and other organisations claimed that she suffered from psychological illness, both before and at the trial.

Execution[edit]
She was publicly hanged from a crane in Neka, Iran, on August 15, 2004. The judge in her case, Haji Rezai, allegedly also applied the noose himself.

Amnesty International and other organizations declared her execution to be a crime against humanity and against children of the world.[5]

That is so horrible. It must be a nightmare being a woman in one of those backward ass countries. I am SO thankful to have been born here in the US.

The men in ME countries are very insecure about their manhood. They do not trust women because of their own feelings of inadequacy. Therefore, they feel as if they have to FORCE women into certain behaviors and they feel they must oppress the women. This is probably because their women would be with Western men instead if given a choice. Muslim men make TERRIBLE husbands.

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. .....

Um, Iran is barely above third world status. As with so many Middle Eastern nations that have suffered under the fascist ideals of Islamism, Iran has had the benefit of natural resources which gave kept it from a Bronze Age existence.

Iran is also a Shia Islamist state. As you Sunni Islamists see the Shia as apostates, you're viewed similarly by the Shia. If watching you two competing tribes of knuckle-draggers slaughtering each other on a daily basis wasn't so comically tragic, it would be, well, comically tragic.....
