Ms. Reyhaneh Jabbari
’Friends of a Free Iran group’ in the European Parliament says the execution of Reyhaneh Jabbari shows that ‘moderation’ with the new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is nothing but a myth.
Press release – Friends of a Free Iran –25 Oct 2014 - Brussels:
We are totally outraged of the news of execution of Ms. Reyhaneh Jabbari, Iranian 26-year-old decorator who was kept in jail in the past 7 years for having defended herself against a sexual aggression by an intelligence officer of the Iranian regime.
She was hanged this morning in a prison outside the capital Tehran.
Reyhaneh was only 19 when an agent of the regime tried to lure her to come and decorate his home and later tried to drug her and rape her. Reyhaneh defended herself with a knife and fled and the agent later died of bleeding in the hospital.
Amnesty International and many international organisations protested loudly to her death sentence and said she had been put under sever torture to make confessions.
Last week president of the European Parliament Martin Schulz wrote a letter to Iranian authorities calling for Reyhaneh’s execution to be halted.
This despicable hanging of a young girl who only acted in self-defence along with a series of systematic acid attacks on women in the streets which have caused several deaths and severe injuries in recent days once again show that ‘moderation’ with the new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is nothing but a myth.
It’s time for urgent action by the international community to punish the Iranian regime for committing these crimes against its own population.
