Iran hangs woman for murder committed when minor

4 hours 56 mins ago

Iran has executed a woman convicted of murdering her father's cousin when she was 17, Iranian media reported on Saturday.

Human rights groups criticised Iran's execution on Friday of 23-year-old Delara Darabi in the northern city of Rasht.

"Delara Darabi, a painter charged with murder, was executed on Friday morning in Rasht prison without her lawyer and family being informed of her execution," the daily Etemad reported on Saturday.

The Czech presidency of the European Union strongly condemned the execution of Darabi and urged Iran to "avoid juvenile executions."

"Such human rights violations erode the ground for understanding and mutual trust between Iran and the European Union," the presidency said in a statement.

Etemad said Darabi had been in jail for five years and had initially confessed to the murder because she believed she would be pardoned as the crime was committed when she was a minor.

"Amnesty International is outraged at the execution of Delara Darabi, and particularly at the news that her lawyer was not informed about the execution," Amnesty said on its website.

Human rights groups have criticised Iran for sentencing minors to death. Iran says it only carries out the death penalty when a prisoner reaches the age of 18.

Iran has executed at least 42 juvenile criminals since 1990, including seven in 2007, according to the groups which say Saudi Arabia and Yemen are the only two other countries to do so.

Murder, rape, adultery, armed robbery, drug trafficking and apostasy are all punishable by death under Iran's sharia law.

Rights groups had praised Iran when it seemed to have ended the practice in October 2007. But a judiciary official later clarified Iran's position, saying juvenile offenders could still face execution for murder but not for other capital crimes.

Iran regularly rejects accusations of human rights abuses, saying it is following Islamic sharia and accusing Western governments of double standards.

Mate, the lack of word "Israel" in the title explains why until my post there were 0 replies to your thread.

Because threads about any other country in the middle east that gets up to questionable things,normally get ignored. It's what makes this forum so laughably transparent and biased at times. Next time I strongly suggest putting either the word "Israel" of "Zionist" into the title, to guarantee dozens of hysterical condemnatory replies :)

This is disgusting regardless of the political undertones it intends to put forth.

Without family or legal representatives there is no way of knowing what actually even happened.

This sort of thing is truly extra-judicial, also implying there were things to hide. About the isreal thing: still very little use for the Isreali authorities and the shadows that hang over them.

This type of disgusting thing deserves just that same attention and I have no problem giving it.

The crimes taking place under the cover of "sharia law" are every bit as terrible and evil as the things Isreal does. How sad.

im not saying what happened was right or wrong the fact that it was highlighed because it was Iran i feel is the major reason this story has got any attention I dont doubt that things like this goes on in other countries and we dont hear about it

Exactly my point, in reference to Israel above. People have made a lifestyle out of sitting there not saying a word about crimes against Israel, and then leap hysterically into action wailing and jumping up and down whenever Israel responds, as if it suddenly decided one day it was bored and would start killing people. All the good that Israel does, is ignored by many in order to retain a view that it's simply a savage brigade entity 'constantly' killing people.

As you say, same with Iran. Iran has tough justice and is quite the police state officially, but that police state is nowhere near as efficient as many believe. Execution of homosexuals is the exception rather than the rule.

People often buy their way out of trouble with Baksheesh, on most issues. The vast majority of the the every day people are fine and even the theocracy isn't quite as savage as say the Taliban were. They have fabulous forms of social support going, and the country is very developed despite some theocratic odditys. Media waits silently with no interest in non 'outrage' life, and jumps into action when a woman is involved, knowing it will outrage westerners.

In short, the media lies in wait for the extremes of any country, and then reports it for maximum attention. And plenty of people obediently follow with predictable emotional reactions, whether that be about Israel or Iran , etc.

I suggest you study the Iranian revolution and how it came about. The west were basically up to their tricks again and trying to take everything from the Iranian people. They defended themselves and quite rightly so.
Once you take the time to know about Iran and their people you will then be informed and will probably have different views especially if you use logic. Iran has strict laws on murder and that is why murder is a rare event in Iran.

in the 1950's Iran had a modern Western democracy. the Islamic Revolution enables Iran to be the Islamic Monster without which we could not have WW3. Ahmedinejad is there 2 stir it up. 2+2=4

was the modern western democracy before operation ajax when the west overthrew a democraticly elected government who nationalised the oil industry or after when the wests puppet dictator was in power..
ahmedinejad governs under the current islamic leaders who are influenced by the us controlled saudi extremists who execute people ..
i cant see justification on placing the blame on ahmedinejad.
i really think ww3 would of started ages ago if ahmedinejad was there to stir it up.

ahmedinejad helps paint the picture of 'horrible Iran'
hav posted b4 on this will try to find..

[leviathanstaar]

For me, it had nothing to do with gender.

It was the lack of legal representation and notification of family.

The proved inherint corruption of the state (any state) is exactly why that sort of thing cannot be allowed to take place. Maybe I dont know enough about the Iranian legal process, but appeals ect cant be heard if they just hang you out of nowhere :/

Iran presidential hopeful slams Ahmadinejad

5 hours ago

TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran's conservative presidential hopeful Mohsen Rezai on Sunday bitterly criticised hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, accusing him of pushing the Islamic republic to the edge of a "precipice."

"Ahmadinejad's path leads to a precipice," Rezai told a news conference. "I have been critical of him and still am."

Rezai, who headed Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards Corps for 16 years up until 1997, is the first conservative to challenge Ahmadinejad in the June 12 poll.

"I see Ahmadinejad's language as adventurous," he said of the incumbent president's nuclear policy, which has cost Iran three sets of UN sanctions over its refusal to halt sensitive atomic work.

"I believe the West and the United States need us today. We have to exploit their need to serve our national interests," he said. "I neither support passivity nor adventurism."

Rezai also slammed Ahmadinejad for "throwing money around the country" for propaganda ahead of the election.

Ahmadinejad has faced mounting criticism from reformists and fellow conservatives mainly over his handling of the economy, accusing him of stoking inflation and "wasting" Iran's windfall oil revenues over the past two years.

Since his 2005 election, the president has gone on a spending spree, pledging generous sums for local infrastructure projects and small business loans.

Rezai, expressing confidence that he can win votes from supporters of rival candidates, said his biggest challenge would be "poverty, high prices and unemployment".

Ahmadinejad has also drawn international condemnation by repeatedly saying the Israel is doomed to disappear and branding the Holocaust a "myth."

Rezai described a two-state solution for Palestinians and Israel as a "failed and unfeasible initiative", but insisted the Holocaust was "a historic question which should be left out of the political language."

"Denying or proving it has nothing do with it," he said.

The veteran conservative ran in the 2005 presidential election too, but pulled out of the race a day before the election.

Other candidates in the June 12 polls include former parliament speaker and reformist cleric Mehdi Karroubi and former prime minister Mir Hossein Mousavi, also a reformist.

Ahmadinejad has set up a campaign team for the election without yet formally announcing he will run.
