Mohammad Ali Jaddari Forughi, the lawyer of death row prisoner Sahar Mahabadi Monfared wrote:

 It must be noted that Reyhane Jabbari, a 26-year old decorator who was in the same ward with Sahar for about a year prior to her execution, had placed intensive effort with the help of her mother – Mrs. Sho’le Pakravan – to save Sahar’s life and have her spared from execution. This was done while she, herself was on the death row and was finally hanged on Oct. 25, 2014.
