I cried after reading this.I don't know how it began but may her soul rest in peace.

27 year old Reyhaney Jabbari was
executed on Saturday October
25th by hanging in Iran seven
years after she killed a man that
she claimed had attempted to rape
her. Before she was
killed, Reyhaney wrote a very
emotional letter to her mother,
asking that her organs be donated
to those who need them. See the
full text of the letter after the cut...
The full text of the letter was
translated by the National Council
of Resistance of Iran:
Dear Sholeh, today I learned that it
is now my turn to face Qisas (the
Iranian regime's law of retribution).


[b]I am hurt as to why you did not
let me know yourself that I have
reached the last page of the book
of my life. Don’t you think that I
should know? You know how
ashamed I am that you are sad.
Why did you not take the chance
for me to kiss your hand and that
of dad?
The world allowed me to live for
19 years. That ominous night it
was I that should have been
killed. My body would have been
thrown in some corner of the city,
and after a few days, the police
would have taken you to the
coroner’s office to identify my
body and there you would also
learn that I had been raped as
well. The murderer would have
never been found since we don’t
have their wealth and their power.
Then you would have continued
your life suffering and ashamed,
and a few years later you would
have died of this suffering and
that would have been that.
However, with that cursed blow
the story changed. My body was
not thrown aside, but into the
grave of Evin Prison and its
solitary wards, and now the
grave-like prison of Shahr-e Ray.
But give in to the fate and don’t
complain. You know better that
death is not the end of life.
You taught me that one comes to
this world to gain an experience
and learn a lesson and with each
birth a responsibility is put on
one’s shoulder. I learned that
sometimes one has to fight. I do
remember when you told me that
the carriage man protested the
man who was flogging me, but the
flogger hit the lash on his head
and face that ultimately led to his
death. You told me that for
creating a value one should
persevere even if one dies.
You taught us that as we go to
school one should be a lady in
face of the quarrels and
complaints. Do you remember
how much you underlined the way
we behave? Your experience was
incorrect. When this incident
happened, my teachings did not
help me. Being presented in court
made me appear as a cold-
blooded murderer and a ruthless
criminal. I shed no tears. I did not
beg. I did not cry my head off
since I trusted the law.
But I was charged with being
indifferent in face of a crime. You
see, I didn’t even kill the
mosquitoes and I threw away the
cockroaches by taking them by
their antennas. Now I have
become a premeditated murderer.
My treatment of the animals was
interpreted as being inclined to be
a boy and the judge didn’t even
trouble himself to look at the fact
that at the time of the incident I
had long and polished nails.
How optimistic was he who
expected justice from the judges!
He never questioned the fact that
my hands are not coarse like
those of a sportswoman,
especially a boxer. And this
country that you planted its love
in me never wanted me and no
one supported me when under the
blows of the interrogator I was
crying out and I was hearing the
most vulgar terms. When I shed
the last sign of beauty from
myself by shaving my hair I was
rewarded: 11 days in solitary.
Dear Sholeh, don’t cry for what
you are hearing. On the first day
that in the police office an old
unmarried agent hurt me for my
nails I understood that beauty is
not looked for in this era. The
beauty of looks, beauty of
thoughts and wishes, a beautiful
handwriting, beauty of the eyes
and vision, and even beauty of a
nice voice.
My dear mother, my ideology has
changed and you are not
responsible for it. My words are
unending and I gave it all to
someone so that when I am
executed without your presence
and knowledge, it would be given
to you. I left you much
handwritten material as my
heritage.
However, before my death I want
something from you, that you have
to provide for me with all your
might and in any way that you
can. In fact this is the only thing I
want from this world, this country
and you. I know you need time for
this. Therefore, I am telling you
part of my will sooner. Please
don’t cry and listen. I want you to
go to the court and tell them my
request. I cannot write such a
letter from inside the prison that
would be approved by the head of
prison; so once again you have to
suffer because of me. It is the
only thing that if even you beg for
it I would not become upset
although I have told you many
times not to beg to save me from
being executed.
My kind mother, dear Sholeh, the
one more dear to me than my life,
I don’t want to rot under the soil.
I don’t want my eye or my young
heart to turn into dust. Beg so that
it is arranged that as soon as I am
hanged my heart, kidney, eye,
bones and anything that can be
transplanted be taken away from
my body and given to someone
who needs them as a gift. I don’t
want the recipient know my name,
buy me a bouquet, or even pray
for me. I am telling you from the
bottom of my heart that I don’t
want to have a grave for you to
come and mourn there and suffer.
I don’t want you to wear black
clothing for me. Do your best to
forget my difficult days. Give me
to the wind to take away.
The world did not love us. It did
not want my fate. And now I am
giving in to it and embrace the
death. Because in the court of
God I will charge the inspectors, I
will charge inspector Shamlou, I
will charge judge, and the judges
of country’s Supreme Court that
beat me up when I was awake and
did not refrain from harassing me.
In the court of the creator I will
charge Dr. Farvandi, I will charge
Qassem Shabani and all those that
out of ignorance or with their lies
wronged me and trampled on my
rights and didn’t pay heed to the
fact that sometimes what appears
as reality is different from it.
Dear soft-hearted Sholeh, in the
other world it is you and me who
are the accusers and others who
are the accused. Let’s see what
God wants. I wanted to embrace
you until I die. I love you.[/b]

Touching

same here,i learnt alot from her letter

Wicked world.

May the soul of Reyhaney Jabbari and all who suffer this fate from the hands of men rest in the perfect peace of the Lord.

The souls of the innocent crying for vengeance before the Lord increases daily. When the Lord's anger rages, the earth will melt. Let there be justice and peace on earth oh Lord.

Women,blacks and homosexuals looking for pity since 1900......quite easy to use rape as a weapon to amass pity and trust that she'll automatically become an orator all for the same reason. Its just western propaganda to make the iranians look bad abeg.
That was how a south african girl who killed her boyfriend out of jealousy got a mere 21 days community service. mscheewww

Amen

Strength and courage are sometimes signs of deep conviction;values imbibed that cannot be negotiated even in the face of death.Honestly i did not think that was about oration,rather CONVICTION however from some lady who had words at her beck and call.May her soul rest in peace.

....Grow up.

phrenoz:
....Grow up.

I'm sure you do know its my own personal opinion

Such a pity, but things like this abound and will continue in a culture that doesn't give rights to women, that sees women as less than men, take the assasination of Bhenazi Bhutu, or Malala Yousouf ( permit any wrong spelling of names,) that got shot. I wld have continued but I don't want it to seem am attacking a particular religion. Concerned women in such countries shld open their eyes and demand fairness.

Molest or not..she still killed they simply followed their law..the only thing that would be wrong is if they would not pass such judgment on a male in the same instance.

The problem here is that there's no gender equality. Many human right activists condemned the death sentence but they insisted and she's gone

so touching
But how will we no the truth.
Come to think of it,remember Oscar pitinous case he lied.
but this touched me

only God knows.If it's a lie then this lie sounds truthful... i don't know how it began but i can see innocence written all over her face.

There's a greater court and that is the court of God.

why would she need to amass pity when she is dead? and why would she want to make her own country look bad? I don't know the whole story and neither do you she might be guilty or it could have been self-defence we will never know but what I do know is that what you wrote is highly insulting and called victim shaming, you don't know what happened so don't jump to conclusions.

Seun please we need a freaking unlike button.

I was just being open to possibilities,the aim of amassing pity is to arouse anti-iranian sentiments and little abt d fate of the gal herself, as I said earlier its possible she never wrote any letter

Is such a pity she had to die for defending herself well this should bring up the topic of why in such country they don't recognise their women well because of religion i will not go deep but this has to change

Anything is possible, it just seemed like you were saying the girl was trying to amass pity for herself.

'slam sha.

'slam sha, wia a female life is nothing but a bag of shit.

I remember this article, but I hadn't read her letter....

The letter tells me something about her character, as well as providing some insight into the period during her "trial" and time spent in jail. I wonder what happened to the guy who killed a man [for protesting] with one blow from the same whip she was being flogged with. This is but one person (...and now two!). What's worse is that this kind of treacherous injustice happens all the time to people whose names we will never hear or know.
