27 year old Reyhaney Jabbari (pictured above), was executed today
October 25th by hanging in Iran 7 years after she killed a man that she
claimed had attempted to rape her. Reyhaney was sentenced to death in
2009 for the stabbing death of Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former
intelligence officer.
A court ruled that she killed Morteza on purpose because she had bought
the knife two days before she stabbed him in the back with it. In her
defence,
Reyhaney said she'd stabbed the man out of self defence. The
court overruled her claims and sentenced her to death, a ruling which
was upheld by Iran's Supreme court.
