Iranian Woman Hanged for Killing a Man Who Tried to Rape Her

Recall, the Iranian woman, Reyhaneh Jabbari, 27, who stabbed to death a man who tried to raped her in his office, was hanged yesterday despite international outcry and a high-profile campaign urging authorities to stop her sentence.

In a heartbreaking last testament and will, the young woman who was only 19 when the murder occurred because a man she had met him in a cafe and had convinced her to visit his office to discuss a business deal, tried to rape her, before she stabbed him with a pocket knife, says she did not want to be buried in a grave where her mother would go to cry and suffer, nor did she want her to wear black.

‘I don’t want to rot in the soil. Please don’t cry. I love you…I wish I could have hugged you until I died’

Although her execution was condemned by the US State Department, the British government and by human rights groups including Amnesty International, the Iranian government still went ahead with the death sentence.
How sad! So are they saying there’s no self defence in rape????
