The Iranian government hanged, Shahla Jahed, one of the wives of soccer star, Nassar Mohammad Khani. Jahed was found guilty of killing one of Khani’s other wives, Laleh Saharkhizan, on what has been labeled a questionable, forced confession. The son of Saharkhizan kicked the stool from under Khani, which led to her death by hanging.

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani

Her case brings to memory the plight of another Iranian woman that has been unfairly sentenced to die, Sakineh Ashtiani. It is the Judiciary Report’s hope the Iranian government will abandon the death penalty.
