In our country, the Islamic Republic, they want to execute a woman who has killed a man. She allegedly acted in self-defense in order to protect herself from being raped. Afsaneh Nouroozi, 32, was reportedly arrested six years ago after killing the head of police intelligence in Kish island. She was nevertheless sentenced to death, and the sentence is reported to have been upheld by the supreme court last month. The only person able to grant clemency at this stage is the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The Islamic republic does not stand to any obligations. Neither Islam nor humanity; they just crave power. And they want to gain it in any possible price. The life of people is of no value in this game.

The Article 61 of the Islamic Criminal Law states: "If whilst defending one's life, honor, chastity, property or freedom against any immediate or imminent aggression, one makes an action which is an offence, provided that all of the following conditions are met, one will not be prosecuted and punished: a - The defense is proportionate to danger or aggression; b - the action is not excessive; c - calling the governmental forces is not possible immediately, or calling them is not effective in repelling the aggression or danger."

But The fact that the man was the Head of Police Intelligence of the Islamic Republic can easily disregard any law article. It can divert the law.

Life of a woman, a human being can be easily neglected. She has to be punished. She has to be put out off the way. She has to be executed so that the people of the land of pure Islam would learn and remember that if the raper is the head of Police, the action is not called crime or aggression. Maybe the poor woman should have been grateful to the adulterer instead of killing him, defending her dignity and honor!...
