The execution of young Reyhaneh Jabbari at dawn today would, no doubt, add fuel to the already boiling anger of public toward this misogynist regime.
Amnesty International issued a press release last night calling on the regime to halt this execution. Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa Program said: “The death penalty is a despicable punishment that is both cruel and inhumane. Applying such a punishment in any circumstances is an affront to justice, but doing so after a flawed trial that leaves huge questions hanging over the case only makes it more tragic.”
Reyhaneh Jabbari was placed in solitary confinement for two months and was denied access to a lawyer or her family.
She was apparently coerced to admit stabbing the man whom had tried to sexually assault her. However, she later said that another man who was also in the house at the time killed him. Her claims do not appear to have ever been properly investigated. 
According the AI, Iran’s judicial authorities are also reported to have pressured Reyhaneh Jabbari to replace her lawyer, Mohammad Ali Jedari Foroughi, for a more inexperienced one, in an apparent attempt to prevent an investigation of her claims.
Reyhaneh’s mother told Amnesty International that she met her daughter for one hour today, but prison officials had refused to give the family any details of Reyhaneh’s imminent transfer to a place of execution.
