Nazanin, 17, was sentenced to death by hanging for defending herself against three rapists.

A young girl who defended herself and her chastity against three male assailants who intended to kidnap and rape her causing injury to one of them who later died in hospital was condemned to death by hanging in an Islamic court in Iran. Nazanin who has seen no more than 17 Springs, all of which under the tyrannical rule of the Mullahs is now facing execution for trying to defend herself and her honor.

No where in the world and under no law self defense is considered to be a crime, but in the tyrannical mullacracy of Iran if a woman does not resist rape she will be stoned as adulterer and if she does she will be hanged.

Nazanin, this young innocent girl, was assaulted by three criminal men in the West of Tehran while strolling with her niece in a park last March (2005). To defend herself she pulled out a knife and stabbed one of her assailants. The knife penetrated the ribs of her attacker who later died in the hospital. The attacks on women in Iran is so frequent that many are forced to carry a concealed weapon for self defense. Unfortunately the Islamic law does not even allow women that right.

Despite the fact that she had been acting in self defense, as shown by the evidences presented and the testimony of eyewitnesses, Nazanin was sentenced to death by hanging. In the last court hearing she repeatedly said “I only defended myself and the honor of my family”. Her words fell of deaf ears and the all male jury who like their misogynist prophet thought it is outrageous for a woman to stand for her rights and defend her dignity and honor, swiftly ordered her execution.

The travesty of justice in Islamic Republic of Iran is beyond description. Please send this news to all the newspapers big and small. Please do not allow this crime go unnoticed. This girl is an innocent flower in the hands of ferocious beasts. Do not allow them to nip her young life in the bud. Let us together provoke an outcry so loud that the ruling thugs in Iran can’t ignore.

These criminals have no shame and don’t give a hoot to world outcry and condemnation. Nonetheless it is our duty as humans not to remain silent.

That's horrible!! Where did you find this article?

Shoutwire.

But yea, it's pretty fawked up.

And people complain about Bush paying the mid-east a visit.

There are other reasons to say hi in person than protecting our oil prices.......

For her it was a lose - lose situation. If she goes along with the rape and doesn't resist, then she is an adulterer and will be stoned. If she defends herself, then she breaks the law by attempting to usurp authority over men and will be hanged. SAD.

I don't understand.
Do they even consider woman to be human.
I don't understand their logic.

MORE sources!!!

its way too easy to make that shit up and demonize a country for it.

I'd almost be willing to bet money that they don't understand their logic. It's what they are taught from birth, so they don't even try to question it. Anyone who does question it, is apparently going to be hanged. It's just a sad sad situation.

It's a matter of religion...

Man is portrayed in the good book of "insert religious reading source here" to be the ultimate of this world, second only to God, and woman was created after to serve under and accompany him....

It's all in the way you want to translate what you read...

you mentioned the "good book" thanks for opening the door to YZF!

good book is like calling out Godzilla.

Just a matter of time before he shows up vomiting death rays ...........

Yeah, I realized that.... But it's of no concern to me....

This just happens to prove my point about why I can't follow any organized religion....

Basic human rights can easily be tossed aside if someone decides to take something they read "in the name of God" to heart...

You're automatically correct about anything you choose to follow and do "because my book says so"....

Christianity wouldn't be so bad if the radicals didn't smite you for not being christian.

When interpreted correctly, christianity has some good guidelines that people in this country need to abide by. Lying, adultering, stealing, etc.

Christianity should be abridged. Take some of the crap out, and it just might be worth following.

Just a matter of time before he shows up vomiting death rays ...........Hey, you're the one who invited him here in the first place. :D
