Honored Martyr's Story
Fatemeh Salbehi was hanged in Shiraz’s prison in Fars Province despite Iran being bound by an absolute international legal ban on juvenile executions. She had been sentenced to death in May 2010 at the age of 17 for the murder of her 30 year old husband, Hamed Sadeghi, whom she had been forced to marry at the age of 16. Her trial and appeal had numerous flaws and biases. She stated abuse and self defense, but the courts were slanted against her.
