Woman In Iran Hanged Today For Killing Man She Claims Tried To Rape Her by lovelyprincess: 4:20pm On Oct 25, 2014
A woman in Iran convicted of murdering a man she accused of trying to rape her was hanged at dawn today - despite an international campaign to save her,

The country's official IRNA news agency said Reyhaneh Jabbari, a university student, was hanged for premeditated murder in a Tehran jail at dawn today.

It quoted the court ruling as rejecting the claim of attempted rape and saying all evidence proved that Jabbari plotted to kill Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former intelligence agent.


The court ruling said Jabbari, 27, stabbed Sarbandi in the back in 2007 after purchasing a knife two days earlier.

Human rights groups had called on Iran's judiciary to halt the execution after claiming her conviction came after a deeply flawed investigation.

Amnesty International believes that although Jabbari has admitted stabbing the man once in the back, she has said another man who was also in the house at the time actually killed Sarbandi.

These claims could have exonerated her but are believed never to have been properly investigated, raising many questions about the circumstances of the killing.

The execution was carried out after Sarbandi's family refused to pardon Jabbari or accept blood money.

Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui of Amnesty International said: “The shocking news that Reyhaneh Jabbari has been executed is deeply disappointing in the extreme.
