How to Avoid Being Executed for Being Raped
An Iranian woman was executed for the crime of killing a man she said was trying to rape her.
Somayeh Shahbazi Jahrouii, age 33, served six years in prison for her “crime,†before she was hanged on December 4.
Jahrouii’s family says that after the murder, Jahrouii panicked, took the body out of the city and set it on fire.
Tragically, there was one way Jahrouii’s family could have saved her, but they were unable to do so. According to Iranian law, the family of the man who was murdered had the right to forgive Jahrouii or demand blood money (diya).
