The woman pictured above has lost her five year legal battle in Iran after she allegedly stabbed her rapist to death in self defense.
27-year-old Reyhaney Jabbari was executed in Iran today October 25 for killing a former Iranian intelligence officer, Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi in 2009.
According to a court ruling, Reyhaney bought a knife two days before stabbing Morteza to death.
During her court hearing, Reyhaney said she stabbed the IO to death in a bid to stop him from raping her.
Her death sentence was upheld by an Iran’s Supreme Court.
She died by hanging in a Tehran prison few hours ago.

*******u, you guys need to *****. You said it’s “barbaric and unconstitutional”. Can you look in the mirror (Nigeria) please?. Whether she was truly guilty is not something i can get involved. May God have mercy on her soul.
I assume you guys mentioned above are Nigerians. In that case, let’s say this happened in Nija, I am sure the woman would have been dead or beaten unconsciously right at the incident. She may never made it to court alive in Nija where you people have no respect for Law enforcement to do their job. Or if she made it to court, her case might have been decided in the same year through ‘expedited trial’ where mistakes are imminent.
In this case, the incident actually happened in 2007 and her trial has since begun. So it took 7yrs to finally come to conclusion. In nija, possibility of acquitting a murderer is high. A place where poor are punished but rich are immunized. As for saying Arab world is not a place for women, you gotta be kidding me right?. When was the last time you hear Queens, princess in Nigeria?. This unwarranted general criticism of your, **** is uncalled for. It’s not a place for women yet Nigerian ladies go there to prostitute themselves in Arab world and they haven’t take off your head?. Problem you guys have is anything that has to do with Arabs, Islam, Muslims, Persians etc, you tend to generalize without iota of *****.
Please wise up, grow up, focus on your corrupt legal system instead of ****in *****. As enlighten as Lagos is, in 21st century, you guys still beat up alleged thieves before handing them to police. You beat up so called witches and wizards before police unravel the brouhaha. You treat suspects like criminals before their arrest. The list go on. My point is ******.

Regarding Iranian Murder Case, I got these on msn comments…
Roger Purgett from Richland, Washington says:
“Iran law found her guilty by THEIR laws and we are outraged that they executed her, Right now I can think of a woman found guilty in Arizona that a jury is debating on her fate of life in prison or death. About a year ago our own society was irate that she was not given the death sentence by a previous jury. Right now I can think of a cop in Ferguson, Mo. that would be executed in a minute by mob rule and our own government complains when comments are released that may shed a different light on the situation. I seem to remember another trail where some guy named Zimmerman was found not guilty and our country went crazy demanding his head also. Why don’t we take a good look at ourselves demanding executions in lieu of judging others for their laws and beliefs?”
Donald Wagner says:
“The actual case is media hearsay. We do not know if she murdered the man or defended herself. Just something to get folks upset about cultures different than our own.”
Nick Carroll says:
“There are currently 3,000 people on death row in the US for murder. Let’s not get up on our soapbox about executions when, quite frankly, we have no leg to stand on.”
John Anderson say:
“She was convicted of killing a man and so her life was forfeit. I don’t see a problem with that. If she’s claiming self defense that pretty much rules out a forced confession like what’s being claimed by her supporters. Makes you kind of wonder why the story changed. In a self defense claim the burden of proof should be on the defendant to prove it was self defense.”
If I understand them correctly, they are simply saying;******** ********.

If the reason she must die is because he raped her you really stink. I am tired of getting myself upset over what I cannot change. That is just wrong in any language. Enough said.

Court never set anybody free for any premeditated crime or offence. Sorry she was raped if indeed she was rape but killing to justify that is wrong. For us here, the reason we should learn is never to embark on revenge mission when position of the of the law is still on our side.
