Jomfruer kan man ikke henrette

Ergo skal de voldtages dagen før de bliver henrettet.

Iran er utiltalende samfund, hvor fundamentalistisk Islam håndhæves med brutal magt.

Nazanin undgik den skæbne, da hun blev sat fri efter internationalt press. Men det er de færreste historier om henrettelser i Iran og de til tider absurde årsager dertil, der når medierne.
Årsagerne til henrettelse kan være utroskab, homoseksualitet, eller at man har forladt Islam, for at blive en Bahai, kristen som de seksten her osv.

I 2004 lykkedes det en dommer at få dødsdømt en ung 16 kvinde:

In 2004 Atefah Sahaaleh, a 16-year-old schoolgirl from the town of Neka, was executed a week after being sentenced to death by Haji Rezai, head of Neka's clerical court on charges of adultery and "crimes against chastity". Rezai, who submitted and processed the execution order at the Supreme Court himself and put the noose around Sahaaleh's neck, told her “This will teach you to disobey!”. Rezai was later arrested on charges of rape and torture of the defendant.

At Dommeren selv senere blev anklaget for tortur og voldtægt, ændrer ikke at ingen så noget galt i at henrette en 16 årig pige for såkaldt hor.

I øvrigt er voldtægt og tortur hverdag i Irans fængsler.

Men en ung kvinde som skal henrettes kan altså ikke være jomfru. Altså skal hun voldtages, ikke for at ydmyge hende, men på grund af religiøs dogmatisme, hvor en jomfru er for ren til helvede:

Fra Fox News, en ung vagt fortæller - den unge vagt er selv blevet fængslet og tortureret, fordi han slap nogle unge kvinder fri:

In the Islamic Republic of Iran it is illegal to execute a woman if she is a virgin, the former guard told the newspaper. So the government arranges "wedding" ceremonies to be conducted the night before executions, and prisoners are forced to have sexual intercourse with a guard.

Raped by her new "husband," a female prisoner is now fit to be put to death.

Some of the prisoners in his care were drugged with sleeping pills to make them docile, as the girls in their custody always fought back, he said, fearing the night of the rape more deeply than their executions the following day.

"I remember hearing them cry and scream after [the rape] was over," he told the paper. "I will never forget how this one girl clawed at her own face and neck with her finger nails afterwards. She had deep scratches all over her."
