October 25 marks the anniversary of the execution of Reyhaneh Jabbari<\/a>. Iran\u2019s misogynist regime hanged Reyhaneh because she had killed Morteza Sarbandi, an official of the Ministry of Intelligence, in self-defense, as he attempted to rape her. Seven years later, more innocent women have been the victims of the regime.<\/p>\n

Reyhaneh Jabbari, 26 years old, was an interior designer who went to Sarbandi\u2019s office on business, but Sarbandi tried to rape her. Reyhaneh was sentenced to death following years of imprisonment and going under various forms of torture to make false confessions.<\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s misogynous judiciary officials verbally assaulted Reyhaneh each time at court. The criminal judge Tardast blatantly told Reyhaneh that she \u201cshould have let him rape her and then filed a complaint.\u201d<\/p>\n

This claim is completely absurd as in Iran under the mullahs\u2019 regime, the laws are not to protect people, rather they are to strengthen the regime\u2019s grip on power.<\/p>\n

On October 15, it was reported that Farahnaz Khalili<\/a>, a 25-year-old photographer, committed suicide after a judge dismissed her complaint of rape and assault. Two months before her suicide, Farahnaz photographed a garden wedding. At the end of the event, the client verbally and physically abused her.<\/p>\n

When Farahnaz filed a complaint and met the judge, he told her, \u201cYou must have been loose to go to such a place.\u201d She hanged herself out of grief, leaving this note behind: \u201cI wasn’t able to claim my right. After me, go and get my right.\u201d The man who assaulted Farahnaz has ties to the regime\u2019s top local officials.<\/p>\n

In another case, Parastoo Navardi, a 36-year-old mother of two, was attacked by the regime\u2019s prosecutor for speaking to the media about how her husband tortured her. Parastoo said her husband would mock execute her with a noose every night after he used crystal meth. She has gone blind in one eye. Signs of torture are evident on her body. The regime\u2019s prosecutor in Abadan, Khuzestan province, attacked her once she went to the court to file a complaint. Parastoo\u2019s sadistic husband is still free and has custody of her two children.<\/p>\n
