Redstreak 6,653 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 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 s-xually 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". Both the US State Department and British Foreign Office condemned the execution. UK Foreign Minister Tobias Ellwood MP called on Iran to abolish the use of the death penalty. "The UN noted that her conviction was allegedly based on confessions made while under threat. I urge Iran to put a moratorium on all executions," he said in a statement. A campaign calling for a halt to the execution was launched on Facebook and Twitter last month and appeared to have brought a temporary stay in execution. However, government news agency Tasnim said on Saturday that Jabbari had been executed after her relatives failed to gain consent from the victim's family for a reprieve. It said her claims of self-defence had not been proved in court. A Facebook page set up to campaign for a stay now says simply: "Rest in peace".

teo 609 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 This is why we need feminism More like Atheism. Feminism can't exist in a country like Iran, where the constitution is based on what somebody's imaginary friend supposedly said 1500 years ago.

Luiz 4,253 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I don't support the death penalty but there should be a price to pay for murder. According to the article, she killed a man who SHE SAYS TRIED to rape her. The rape didn't even occur. How is this justice? Why are people defending her? yeah seriously what if the chick really is just a murderer I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Hot Space 14 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 But didn't she kill him? I don't think she should have been killed, but you can't just kill someone without any repercussions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the guy grabbed her and tried to molest her, so she grabbed for a knife and stab him which killed him. That's a possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego 44,165 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I bet the law is gonna defend the man, disgustingThe man is dead, she killed him. Title is misleading, the penalty is for murder not for defending herself. She probably couldn't prove it was self-defence? I don't support the death penalty but there should be a price to pay for murder. According to the article, she killed a man who SHE SAYS TRIED to rape her. The rape didn't even occur. How is this justice? Why are people defending her? yeah seriously what if the chick really is just a murdererFound this on twitter, idk if it's true FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
