“Evidence in the case, including the medical examiner’s report highlighting the presence of a tranquilizer in a glass of juice found at the crime scene, possibly intended use in the immobilization and sexual assault the defendant, raises serious questions as to whether or not factors eminently relevant to the case were considered in the court’s judgment and sentencing of this young woman,” Mr. Shaheed said.
“If her allegations are true, Ms. Jabbari may have been doubly victimized; first by her attacker, and then by the judicial system, which is supposed to protect victims of intended and actual sexual and physical assault,” the expert stressed. “Sexual violence, often directed against women, must always be fought in all of its forms.”
Above is from an appeal in April of this by Ahmad Sahheed, The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, to stop the execution of Ms. Jabbari.
Nothing doing, yesterday she was hanged.
According the apartheid rules of the Islamist fascists, _’reformers” and all – Reyhaneh had no chance; all the cards were stacked against her.
Reyhaneh was a she and according to law, considered half-human being.
Reyhaneh had defended herself from a sexual assault. According to the mindset of the Islamist fascists, she is at fault for tempting the rapist.
Reyhaneh was to be hanged, no matter the circumstances and facts of the case, because the rapist, Morteza Sarbandi, was an employee of the infamous Ministry of Intelligence.
In other words; as Reyhane’s mother said yesterday after her execution to passing girls in the street:
“Girls, be carful, if they try to rape you, let them do it, otherwise, you will be dealt with like this. Your mother will age prematurely, you father will be crushed, and then they’ll kill you.”
Sanctions works, U.S. Senate, get to it
I can only suggest to Mr. shaheed that he'd better go and check his motherland for the rise of Taliban and all other stuff...............now........you tell me why she bought a gun a couple of days prior to the murder, before you say anything about roofies.................
Shameless paid cyber agents of Islamic regime are already hard at work trying to cover their criminal paymasters. All in vein.
As anyone in Iran would tell you, Reyhaaneh was murdered only because she defended her honor against a rapist who also happened to be am employee of IRI ministry of intelligence (etelaat Ministry). Her murder --- right as the public anger and demonstrations against the "acid throwing" attacks on Iranian women carried out by IRI agents are picking up--, was intended as a remionder to Iranian people on how ruthless Ilsamist government can be. Her murder is intended to calm the public anger through fear.
This time it looks things are backfiring badly for the Islamist regime.
Right on Hamal jaan. They're in overdirve since the news came out.
I keep wondering what it would take for the people of Iran to rise agianst this despicable regime of the hell on earth.
I understand the religious angle here, and it's a clever one, but I always thought there's a limit to everything.
Everything.
