Iranian Girl Sentenced to Death By Hanging

for defending herself....

Iran Focus

Tehran, Iran, Jan. 07 â?? An Iranian court has sentenced a teenage rape victim to death by hanging after she weepingly confessed that she had unintentionally killed a man who had tried to rape both her and her niece.

The state-run daily Etemaad reported on Saturday that 18-year-old Nazanin confessed to stabbing one of three men who had attacked the pair along with their boyfriends while they were spending some time in a park west of the Iranian capital in March 2005.

Nazanin, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, said that after the three men started to throw stones at them, the two girlsâ?? boyfriends quickly escaped on their motorbikes leaving the pair helpless.

She described how the three men pushed her and her 16-year-old niece Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them, and said that she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.

As the girls tried to escape, the men once again attacked them, and at this point, Nazanin said, she stabbed one of the men in the chest. The teenage girl, however, broke down in tears in court as she explained that she had no intention of killing the man but was merely defending herself and her younger niece from rape, the report said.

The court, however, issued on Tuesday a sentence for Nazanin to be hanged to death.

Last week, a court in the city of Rasht, northern Iran, sentenced Delara Darabi to death by hanging charged with murder when she was 17 years old. Darabi has denied the charges.

In August 2004, Iranâ??s Islamic penal system sentenced a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, to death after a sham trial, in which she was accused of committing â??acts incompatible with chastityâ?�.

The teenage victim had no access to a lawyer at any stage and efforts by her family to retain one were to no avail. Atefeh personally defended herself and told the religious judge that he should punish those who force women into adultery, not the victims. She was eventually hanged in public in the northern town of Neka.

...of all the evil people in this world....

It is unheard of for a girl, with a veil, to kill a muslim male-god.

It shocked the judge.

as much as i hate the bush administration and this ongoing war in the middle east, its articles like this that remind me that we're there to serve a purpose and its to stop things like this from happening.

i always thought we should go into iran and just basically overthrow their government rather than going into iraq and overthrowing saddam but you cant be everywhere at once. maybe when we clean up that shithole in iraq, we can move in and overthrow those other retarded countries like afghanistan, kazakstan and iran.

You're right, sdffa11, it shows how evolved we are. In America, that wouldn't happen to anyone, anywhere.

Sharp response

I posted this a few days ago

i didnt know that shit still happens like that. guess i just forgot

No matter how bad America can be, we still seem to be ahead of most countries when it comes to discrimination between genders and among races (even Australia, even though it has a higher HDI. I guess the beach riots vould be an isolated incident, though).
