On August 15th, 2004 a 16-year-old girl was hanged in a public square in Neka, Iran. Her death sentence was for "acts incompatible w chastity". Her name was Atefah Rafavi Sahaaleh. The only evidence against Atefah was her own forced confession. Atefah railed against her judge in court for its unfairness, but this was her undoing. Judge Haji Rezai, who was also the local mullah, prosecutor and head of the city administration, personally obtained permission from Iran's Supreme Court to execute her, and put the noose around her neck himself before she was hoisted on a crane jib arm to her death.

Atefeh lost her mother in a car accident. Her father was a drug addict. At the age of 13, a 51 year old former government agent started molesting her. On the night of her wedding to a boy who loved her, she was taken by the authorites and soon after executed without knowledge of her family.

There are at least 81 other children facing execution in Iran. Sign the petition to stop child execution in Iran. Visit: www.stopchildexecutions.com.

The film clips are from a documentary film made by BB2 called "execution of a teenage girl" which can be viewed in full at : http://www.stopchildexecutions.com/multimedia.aspx

The song "24" is by Jem.

  • I find that the ...

    I find that the jurisdiction for stealing in Pakistan is ok, but sometimes enough is enough. Taking lives and making people lie is not the answer to justice. What is justice without fairness? Just kill yourself if you would like to kill someone just because they were doing "acts incompatible with chastity". Have you no feeling for your own life, as another human being? What would not do to the person who would do to you? Think about what your religion is truly saying, not the corruption of men.

    I would ban immigration of any males from Islamic nations while offering an open door policy to all women from those same nations. Let them import some aids infested African women to spread peace around.

    Islam is piece. A big long brown piece.

    And it stinks.

    My sincere hope is that all muslims are sterilized so they cannot infect future generations.

    Peace Be Upon Her.

  • Islam does mean ...

    Islam does mean Peace. Those savages and anyone else can claim that they are true Muslims, but it doesn't necessary mean that they actually are. They are only ruining the image of their own religion. In the end, they are also oppressing and killing other Muslims too and destroying mosques. How can that be an act of Islam?
