A mother of 2 who died of a heart attack just as she was about to be executed in Iran was hanged anyway as a concession to her alleged victim’s mother, her lawyer, Omid Moradi, has claimed.
Zahra Esmaili was a victim of domestic violence, mental and physical torture and even rape, yet she was found guilty of killing her husband who was a high ranking intel official.
She was executed for trying to protect herself and her children from her abusive husband.
Iran is the world’s biggest jailer and excecutioner of Innocent people including journalists, rape victims, women's rights activities and even artists, singers, dancers, etc.
It is well known that Iran is the world’s biggest jailer of Innocent women including journalists, rape victims, women's rights activities and Human rights lawyers.
The regime in Iran uses the death penalty as a tool to suppress and silence a disgruntled society the majority of whom live under the poverty line, are unemployed and deprived of freedom of speech.
Sadly, the UN is turning a blind eye to Iran’s regime continued practice of unjustified executions and inhuman torture methods.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is an elected member of the U.N. Commission on Criminal Justice. Iran was also appointed to the UN Women's rights committee that judges complaints of women's rights violations.
According to UN, the violations that Iran will judge include:
• Stereotypical attitudes towards role of women.
• Violation of women's rights defenders' freedom of expression & assembly • Deaths & torture of women in custody.
• Impunity for violations of human rights of women.
