Gregg Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Iran to hang teenage girl attacked by rapists Sat. 07 Jan 2006 Iran FocusTehran, Iran, Jan. 07 – An Iranian court has sentenced a teenage rape victim to death by hanging after she weepingly confessed that she had unintentionally killed a man who had tried to rape both her and her niece.The state-run daily Etemaad reported on Saturday that 18-year-old Nazanin 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.Nazanin, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, said that after the three men started to throw stones at them, the two girls’ boyfriends quickly escaped on their motorbikes leaving the pair helpless.She described how the three men pushed her and her 16-year-old niece Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them, and said that she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.As the girls tried to escape, the men once again attacked them, and at this point, Nazanin said, she stabbed one of the men in the chest. The teenage girl, however, 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 report said.The court, however, issued on Tuesday a sentence for Nazanin to be hanged to death.Last week, a court in the city of Rasht, northern Iran, sentenced Delara Darabi to death by hanging charged with murder when she was 17 years old. Darabi has denied the charges. In August 2004, Iran’s Islamic penal system sentenced a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, to death after a sham trial, in which she was accused of committing “acts incompatible with chastity”.The teenage victim had no access to a lawyer at any stage and efforts by her family to retain one were to no avail. Atefeh personally defended herself and told the religious judge that he should punish those who force women into adultery, not the victims. She was eventually hanged in public in the northern town of Neka. http://www.shoutwire.com/viewstory/4701/17...eath_By_Hanging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappo Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 As for the hanging, this isn't just in Iran. Many Islamic countries would kill her. Ironcially, if she had been raped, she probably would have been hanged also, for engaging in a sexual act with someone not her husband. It was a no win situation. Most likely the reason the second girl was hanged. The only positive thing from what she did was to keep her niece from being raped.Women have no rights in fundementalist Islam.

TorqueSteer Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I find myself fortunate to be living in a country which abides to common law, unfortunately Iran abides to Islamic law code, and this story is one of the sad consequences of such a system.

Sadly a lot of you would not come back I don't think it would be so sad if the hippies never came back And who's Blockhead? Seriously for just a sec: My wife is from Tehran. Her uncle and his family (who still live there) as is most of the younger gen are significantly westernized, decent people. There's just this lunatic death cult running the country is all. It's a tough spot to be in. Add nukes- hillarity ensues. Edited February 17, 2006 by RAzOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlson Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 but still praying and follow ramadan, so they are the same as saudis and the rest of "Muslim world" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricF Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Most likely though, the guys who did that will be killed in far worse ways than hanging.Gender equality in the Middle East is very poorly represented to us. It's sad that they're being hung, and wrong... But I would assure you that there are almost certainly people doing worse things to those who rode off on their bikes from the incident.It's a totally different world over there, but not completely without its justice. (Not that I'd ever live there or want those I know to live there!-- except maybe a few ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
