Girl hanged for talking back to judge...
 

Those happy religious Iranians.

"The judge personally pursued Ateqeh’s death sentence, beyond all normal procedures and finally gained the approval of the Supreme Court. After her execution Rezai said her punishment was not execution but he had her executed for her “sharp tongue”."

I can imagine that quite a few american religious fanatics just wish they could do the same thing.

Religious Cocksuckers

Damn Right

but on the bright side, freedom might be breaking loose in Iran

Unreal.....

I've always viewed religion as a WMD.

Then again I don't think god should be on our money, in our pledge, or any other place in government.

I view religion as a left over from times before we understood things better, just superstitious ignorance.

Everyone should have the right to believe whatever they want, trouble is the ones that want us to believe in what they believe in. Forcing views on someone else seems like a sin to me.

I have complete disdain of religions.

I don't even have words to express what a sad story this is. I just hope one day we can live in a world where something as awful as this can't even be imagined.

I'm not religious at all, but I do think if we had such punishment here the crime rate would be a LOT lower!


Thieves get their hands cut off. Rapists get their dicks cut off.. If the latter happened and they were approached by a woman they would scream NO MEANS NO! |jester|

I have met many women in my life that should be executed from "sharp tongue"...

OK, that was a joke. |bananna|

Oh my fucking god, I just read some more about this.

It turns out they didn't drop hang the poor girl, which breaks your neck and kills you in a few seconds.

They lift hanged her from a crane, which is the slowest and most horrible type of hanging.

Her original offense was "Acts Incompatible with Chastity", but apparently she was a schizophrenic, and got mad about being punished rather than being contrite.

I guess Iran is much safer now that a pissed off judge put the rope around the neck (personally, he actually physically put the rope around her neck) of a crazy girl who sassed him.

I shouldn't let this bug me, but it kinda does.

Here's a bit from an Iranian blog about this:

-------------------------

The execution was carried out by the order of Neka's "judicial administrator" and was approved by both the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic and the chief of the nation's "judiciary branch." Although according to her birth certificate she was only 16 years old, the local court falsely claimed that she was 22.

Three months ago, during her appearance before the local court, fiercely angry the young girl hurled insults at the local judge, Haji Reza, who is also the chief judicial administrator of the city, and it is said as another expression of protest took off some of her clothes in the courtroom. This act by the young girl made the administrator so furious that he evaluated her file personally and in less than three months received a go-ahead from the Islamic Republic's Supreme Court for her execution. The animosity and anger of Haji Reza was so strong that he personally put the rope around the girl's delicate neck and personally gave the signal to the crane operator, by raising his hand, to begin pulling the rope.

It may be noted that although according to the Islamic Republic's own penal laws the presence of an attorney for the defense [is supposed to be] mandatory, regardless of the defendant's ability to afford one, nevertheless the girl remained without an attorney. Her unfortunate father, while tears poured from his eyes, went about the city beseeching the townspeople for money to hire an attorney who in the least would provide his daughter with a line of defense.

So, are these folks the "Islamic Extremists", or are they those "good, moderate Muslims". Seems to me it's kinda hard to tell the difference if an entire country, including it's supreme court, condone murder as punishment for dissing a judge.

"Islam...who do you want to kill today"
