This is the Law in an Islamic State!
A former Canadian beauty queen on a campaign to help a jailed Iranian teenager is awaiting the verdict of a new trial that could save the girl from a death sentence.
Nazanin Afshin-Jam, former Miss World Canada, is urging everyone to lobby the Iranian government until a written verdict in Nazanin Fatehi's retrial is delivered in a few days.
So far she has collected over 300,000 signatures asking for clemency for the girl.
Yours should be included!
An Iranian court sentenced Fatehi to death by hanging a year ago. She had confessed to stabbing to death one of three men who tried to rape her and her 16-year-old niece in a park near Tehran. She was 17 at the time.
"Urgent action is needed to help save a young life whose only crime was an attempt to defend herself," the petition reads. "Nazanin and many like her are caught between two undesirable options.
"On one hand, [the] Iranian Penal Code severely limits the possibility of using 'self-defence' as a legitimate defence to aggression. On the other hand, if Nazanin had allowed the rape to take place, she could still be imprisoned, flogged or stoned for having sex outside of marriage unless four male witnesses to the actual rape would testify on her behalf."
On top of all that misogynist bullshit, Amnesty International says there have been 18 executions of child offenders in Iran since 1990.

Petition to free or at least lessen the sentence of the girl!
Petition

(NOTE: As of January 16th the death sentence has been suspended, but she still has to come up with $30,000.00 dollars in "blood money" before she can get a "pardon!" This is to compensate the family for the death of the man that tried to rape her. It just seems like a female can't catch a break no matter what in these Arab countries!)
