Iran: Muslims Hang Teen Girls, Plan Another

She had no lawyer. She tried to defend herself. In
the end the government took her to the noose. She was hung. The
16-year-old body was accused of committing "acts incompatible with
chastity."
Her family tried to defend her. The court would have
none of it.
Atefeh Rajabi was put to death after a "sham
trial," according to Iran Focus.
She said in her report to the Islamic legalistic
radical judge that "he should punish those who force women into
adultery, not the victims." Her words fell on deaf ears, as if often
the case in Muslim countries where women are worse than dung.
She was taken to the gallows, hung in public in the
northern town of
Neka
.
Such is life and death in
Iran
.
In another case involving Delara Darabi, she was
charged with murder. She, a teen-ager, will hang according to the
court’s decision in
Rasht
, northern
Iran
. She denied the charges.
In still another incident, Nazanin,
the victim of an attack, tried to defend herself against rapists. The
Muslim males also tried to rape her niece who was with her at the time.
Etemaad, the state-run newspaper, reported that the
18-year-old "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."
In the fracas, the boy friends got on their
motorbikes and fled, leaving the two girls defenseless. With that, rapists
proceeded with their attacks.
Three Muslims "pushed her and her 16-year-old niece
Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them." She then took a
knife, stabbing one of the men’s hand. The men continued with the
attack.
As the girls attempted to run from the park, the men
bodily got hold of them again. Nazanin then stabbed one of the men in the
chest. "The teenage girl 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 decision of the court? Nazanin will be hanged to
death.
Such is life and death in
Iran
.
Please act to
save Nazanin
