An Iranian court has sentenced a teenage rape victim to death by hanging after she weepingly confessed that she had unintentionally killed a man who had tried to rape both her and her niece.
The state-run daily Etemaad reported on Saturday that 18-year-old Nazanin confessed to stabbing one of three men who had attacked the pair along with their boyfriends while they were spending some time in a park west of the Iranian capital in March 2005.
She described how the three men pushed her and her 16-year-old niece Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them, and said that she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.
As the girls tried to escape, the men once again attacked them, and at this point, Nazanin said, she stabbed one of the men in the chest. The teenage girl, however, broke down in tears in court as she explained that she had no intention of killing the man but was merely defending herself and her younger niece from rape, the report said.
The court, however, issued on Tuesday a sentence for Nazanin to be hanged to death.
Last week, a court in the city of Rasht, northern Iran, sentenced Delara Darabi to death by hanging charged with murder when she was 17 years old. Darabi has denied the charges.
In August 2004, Irans Islamic penal system sentenced a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, to death after a sham trial, in which she was accused of committing acts incompatible with chastity.
The teenage victim had no access to a lawyer at any stage and efforts by her family to retain one were to no avail. She was eventually hanged in public in the northern town of Neka.

Meanwhile CAIR moans that islam gets no respect because of hate and ignorance by Christian.
But if you're a guy, it's okay to prowl the streets and rape any girl at will.
kerry wants to give his Iranian mullah pals nuclear fuel to "test them".
This country is just sick. As sick as Saudi Arabia and Iraq pre-Saddam. God bless that poor girl.
And yet the left continues to call us savages.
The liberals are due for an epiphany, hopefully they won't wait until the muslims have a noose around their feminist necks.
Kind of reminds me of the Garden of Eden fiasco.
These people are psychopaths who want to take over world.
Where's the NOW Gang? somebody call Ramsey Clark... if he gets this girl off I might have a better opinion of him.. cuz he'll have done the right thing for once in his life
Barbarians.
What a nightmare to have to live in a miserable, stinking, unjust country like IRAN.
Is there anyone who is maintaining a list of this kind of crap? There's got to be a pretty long list. If you've got any bookmarks saved could you please ping or freepmail them to me?
But it is our job to make sure Islamist regimes don't join the nuclear club.
Now how are we going to do that?
You'll see how it's done later this year.

"These people are psychopaths who want to take over world."
Yes, islamofascist thugs are nothing more then deranged mass serial killers on the loose. And they must be stopped.
Great handle, those Cornwell novels are good reads :)
May Iran become a radioactive ruin.
For the readers on FR: I'm going to share a letter written by a close friend that was in the UN HQ in Baghdad in 2003.
He and I were both in Kosovo following 1999. Since I was a former Marine and at the time a Security Chief in Kosovo, he thought my thoughts on Islam and the Muslims was radical. He was also from Canada. Our conversations never got heated, but he always thought that we (Americans), should be more tolerant towards the Muslims. This was also before 2001. He was very adamant about this being tolerant. So, relative to your comment note my friends response after I sent him a letter for my concern for what he had been through.
Hank, your comment:
"Islam is a death cult that must be wiped off the face of the Earth."
My friends Letter to us in 2003 follows:
"I managed to escape with only a few cuts and bruises, though the back of my shirt was covered in blood, not mine. I feel vulnerable and afraid and angry. Someone murdered my boss, Sergio, my friend Fiona, my colleagues, and tried to kill me.
I was on the 2nd floor, in a meeting about a workshop for lawyers, to take place this weekend. For some reason, I took the seat with its back against the wall. That decision may have save my life. At 4.30pm, the office exploded with an incredible roar. It threw me across the room. Stunned and dazed, I laid down for a few minutes. There was total silence.
My first reaction was that I was alive. I felt my body for cuts and then stood up. The roof had caved in, wires, glass, dust filled the room and the hallways. It was black.
Screams and shouting followed. With others, I made my way downstairs. There was blood on the floor, walls and ceiling. When I got downstairs, I immediately thought a suicide bomber had walked in the front. The lobby was decimated. Bodies were under, and on top of the rubble. They were so still, no blood or cuts. Just motionless, dead. Someone grabbed them and moved them towards the grassy center of the forecourt.
Then, slowly, people made their way out. I have never seen so much blood. I just stood. Frozen, not knowing what to do. I was no hero on this day. More and more people came out, covered in blood, collapsed faces, scalps removed. All the screaming. And I just watched. More in amazement. What is going on! So much pain and bleeding and all I could do was stand, in a daze.
I then was asked to go to the back of the building and help remove the rubble from Sergio. When I got there, the task seemed herculian! Was I really supposed to remove 3 tons of rubble? I clambered up and then turned back. Someone reached where Sergio was and, giving the thumbs up sign, told me he was alive. Still I could not move to the rubble. I froze. A UN staffer was screaming that she wanted to hold his hand and tried to approach. With others, I grabbed and pulled her away. She kept coming back, time and again. I wanted to punch her in the nose. We were all freaked, but did not need this. Though I was thinking clearly, I seemed incapable of action.
Exhausted, in shock, I just wondered back to the rest of the wounded, handing out toilet roll to the bleeding. I have never felt so helpless in my life. They told us at Harvard that there are leaders and followers, and I had convinced myself of the former. Not this day.
I will not return to Baghdad. I am unsure what next. I feel uneasy on returning to work and may seek medical leave. I need a break. I want to chow down some John's Pizza on Bleeker, some lobster in Portland, a cocktail at the Temple Bar and a walk in Topanga. I want to see goofy comedies, 24/7.
No newspapers, no CNN.
Just fluff and trash. Fluff and trash."

Just like we did the Taliban!
And yet, if we do, the feminists and other leftists will bitterly criticize Bush.
