Mullahs Regime to Hang 26-Year-Old Rape Victim
Court docs, evidence go missing under strange circumstances, family says.
The Iranian regime is slated to hang on Tuesday a 26-year-old woman charged with fatally stabbing her accused rapist, theWashington Free Beacon has learned.
Rayhaneh Jabbari, a 26-year-old former interior designer, is scheduled to be hanged this week after serving the last seven years in prison for stabbing a doctor who she claims drugged her and attempted to rape her.
The case has drawn international outrage from human rights activists, who are fighting to stay the execution. These activists have cast a spotlight on Iran’s flawed judicial system, which executed more than 500 people in 2013 and is on pace to kill even more this year.
A petition aimed at pressuring Iran to stop the hanging has already drawn more than 126,700 signatures online, but has not appeared to sway the Iranian judiciary, the head of which recently upheld the execution order and insisted that it be carried out on Tuesday.
There are also signs that the Iranian regime has been secretly meddling in the case, potentially destroying evidence that could save Jabbari’s life, according to her mother, Sholeh Pakravan, who agreed to speak to the Free Beacon via translators.
New information from Jabbari’s family and human rights activists working on the case indicate that a third mysterious individual may have been involved in the incident and set Jabbari up to take the fall for the murder.
Jabbari’s family, now fearing for its safety, has been subject to surveillance and was recently chased on the streets by unknown persons, Pakravan told theFree Beacon.
“The courts have said that if a woman is raped it is their fault, and told Rayhaneh that she is a mean-spirited and selfish bitch,” Pakravan said in response to questions submitted by the Free Beacon and asked during an interview conducted on its behalf by Iranian human rights activists Banafsheh Zand and Mina Ahadi.
“You must realize that the laws in Iran are medieval laws of retribution, revenge and punishment and unfortunately for our broken hearts, Rayhaneh’s life is in their hands,” said Pakravan, who last visited her daughter in prison on Saturday.
Jabbari’s ordeal began seven years ago, when she met Iranian physician Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi at an Internet café.
Then 19 years old, Jabbari is said to have encountered Sarbandi when he overheard her discussing her career in interior design.
Sarbandi approached the young woman and asked that she meet him in his office to discuss a renovation project, according to Jabbari’s version of events.
Sarbandi is said to have picked up Jabbari on the day of the meeting and then stopped briefly at the pharmacy to purchase an item, which was later identified as a type of date rape drug. Forensics later showed that this drug was put in a glass of juice Sarbandi allegedly offered to Jabbari.
Sarbandi then drove Jabbari to a rundown house, offered her a drink, and purportedly told her, “You have no way of escaping,” according to rights activists.
A physical altercation soon broke out that resulted in Jabbari stabbing her attacker twice in the shoulders with a small foldable pocketknife. Prosecutors claim that Sarbandi soon bled out and died.
However, new evidence revealed by Jabbari’s mother and her lawyer to the Free Beacon indicates that a third individual could have played a role in the incident—and that Iranian authorities destroyed evidence that could exonerate Jabbari.
Mohammad Mostafaei, the defense attorney defending Jabbari, revealed that documents and materials pertaining to the case have gone missing over the past seven years. He and the family believe that Iran’s intelligence ministry intentionally destroyed these documents in order to uphold Jabbari’s conviction.
The police are said to have investigated several different leads in the murder and then committed documents and audio files to a CD that was placed in an evidence box pertaining to the case, Mostafaei told the Free Beacon.
“However, the CD is ‘lost’ while in the chain of the lead prosecutor’s custody,” he said. “The simple reason for this was that it had now been ‘decided’ that Rayhaneh Jabbari was the murderer. Many hands have been at work here and all have blocked the truth from being revealed.”
Iran’s intelligence ministry “conducted its own investigation” into the killing, said Mostafaei, who noted that this is highly unusual.
“The real murderer was one of the regime’s own officials,” Mostafaei alleged.
Jabbari’s mother agreed, telling the Free Beacon: “In my opinion there is a gang within the Ministry of Intelligence and Surveillance which is fully and totally involved in this case and has in fact planned the whole thing,” she said. “Rayhaneh was an innocent bystander who happened into the story.”
A third individual identified as Sheikhy is said to have been included on several text messages sent by Sarbandi to Jabbari prior to the incident, according to Mostafaei and Pakravan.
“On the day when Rayhaneh goes to Sarbandi’s office and the whole melee ensues (and the neighbors had heard the commotion), when Rayhaneh stabs Sarbandi with her small foldable pocket knife, as she is running out, Sheikhy was walking in and he sees her running out,” according to Pakravan, as well as lawyers and human rights activists.
“But Sarbandi was not dead at that point,” she added. “After all she had literally just stabbed him seconds before and runs past Sheikhy who did enter the premises where Sarbandi was.”
“There are very real allegations that, given the amount of time between Rayhaneh running out of the place and the EMS arriving, Sheikhy was there the entire time,” Pakravan said. “There are also allegations that [Sarbandi] would never have died from the stab wound inflicted by Rayhaneh as Sarbandi was a rather heavy set guy.”
The court CD containing documents purportedly had “all the info on the phone and text messages between the victim, Morteza Sarbandi and others, including Sheikhy,” said the lawyer Mostafaei, who is calling on Iran’s judiciary and Sarbandi’s family to annul the execution. “I am certain that the content of this CD will exonerate Rayhaneh.”
The individual called “Sheikhy is the one person whose name has come up repeatedly, who has been present from the very beginning of this incident and the only time the court made any mention of him was when they said that whether he was or was not there is of no importance or harm to the case,” he said.
Sheikhy is also said have been present when Jabbari was arrested. He was never asked to testify in court or explain his alleged presence at the crime scene.
The coroner in the case is said to have found other unrelated wounds on Sarbandi’s body that could have led to his death.
Pakravan further revealed that prior to an April 7 mediation meeting between her and the victim’s family, one of her daughters had been “followed” and then “chased” by unknown persons.
Pakravan is now considering taking her other children out of school to ensure their safety.
Additionally, Iranian officials have been “pressuring our family not to contact or get in touch with anyone outside Iran and continue to call the people who support Rayhaneh’s campaign a bunch of dirty terrorists who are atheists or scum members of the opposition to their Islamic revolution,” she said.
“In any case,” Pakravan added, “the Iranian regime has decided that it wants to make an example of yet another woman and they are bent on executing Rayhaneh and even though the rapist [and] victim’s family is fully well aware of these ambiguities in the case, they still insist on seeing Rayhaneh hung.”
However, Jabbari and her family are not alone.
The United Nations called on Iran to “immediately halt” the execution.
Iranian actors, cultural figures, and human rights activists have galvanized behind Jabbari and fought to secure her release. The case appears to have moved Iranians to take on the flawed judicial system.
Despite the surge in support, Jabbari is not optimistic, her mother says.
Jabbari told her mother during a phone call from prison on Saturday, “Mom, give it up … let it go.”
“From this moment on, per my daughter’s suggestion, I will calmly sit in a corner and I will cease and desist from all activities,” Pakravan wrote in a public message to friends. “I won’t write a thing anymore. I won’t publish anything anymore.”
“This is my last posting for now in an open forum,” she wrote. “From here on in, I won’t respond to any messages, calls … nothing. I will do nothing … I want nothing.”

Former U.S. President Joined the Terrorist State of IRI
On September 27, 2013 former President Hussein Obama stretched out his hand and offered diplomatic engagement to the terrorist Hassan Rouhani through a phone call. The United States has long-standing concerns over Iran’s nuclear program, sponsorship of terrorism, and human rights record. The United States State Department has described Iran as an “active state sponsor of terrorism. President Obama has in fact answered the Iranian’s plea, (when in 2009 they shouted “Obama Obama ya ba oona ya ba ma”, meaning you are either with them or with us), and abandoned them by taking the terrorist IRI’s side. Iranian will never forget his disfavor to them.
You Don’t Deal with Terrorists
How dare the world communities led by U.S. allow themselves to make “deal” with the terrorist State of the IRI? The US State Department has described Iranian regime as an “active state sponsor of terrorism," why? Because Mullahs’ regime has killed American Marines by bomb, because Mullahs’ regime has killed American soldiers using IED, because Mullahs’ regime supports terrorist groups abroad, because Mullahs’ regime has a dreadful human rights record at home, and because Mullahs’ regime helps bloodthirsty Bashar al-Assad in killing Syrian people. ............................................................. No cause justifies terrorism; the World should not be soft on terrorism but must respond strong and fight this evil to eradicate its root from the surface of the earth.
Obsolete types of Governments for the 21st Century
In the 21st century the Monarchy, Theocratic, and Communism are considered obsolete and impractical type regimes whose outcome are nothing more than autocracy and corruption in addition to fostering slavery and idolatry for its own people. …………….. The only down-to-earth type government is the one OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE that can bring freedom and prosperity for its grassroots. And that is a secular democratic republic government based on the principle of human rights. The overriding characteristic of this demotic type regime is its short-cycle default that provides for the leader to govern, in other word it roots out any long-term opportunity for the sovereignty, which is the key element in institutionalizing corruption in the society.
If the World Wants to Witness Peace on Earth
If the World Powers really want to bring peace and prosperity to the world, they have to eradicate the source of terrorism in our globe, which has been deeply rooted in Iran by the terrorist Mullahs occupiers. It is these Islamic zombies in Iran who are behind all the inhuman crimes against its own people and across not only the Middle East, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, etc, but all over the globe. As long as they are alive the world will not witness the peace it deserves. If GWB (George Without Brain) had attacked Iran instead of Iraq in 2003 (miscalculation due to the lack of brain or too much oil-polluted brain) and exterminated these Islamic zombies, the world would have never been in this mess today. Again nobody should ever expect peace on our earth as long as the terrorist IRI mullahs are alive.
Islamic Regime in Iran, a Puppet of Foreign Powers
If it wasn’t for the continuous step-by-step support of the World Powers, these lousy Mullahs, headed by yesterday-beggar and today-criminal billionaire KHAMENEI and the professional crook RAFSANJANI, could never enforce this criminal regime of bunch of thugs and ruffians over the people of Iran for more than 38 years. Alongside our struggle on raising awareness among the Iranian grassroots against ignorance, we have to point a major part of our efforts to counteract and defy the revival subsidizing source for this brutal and puppet regime by the so-called hegemony of Western and Eastern Powers, and ask them to redirect the focus of their provision and care toward the oppressed people of Iran.

The worst illiterate is the political illiterate
“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.” ........... (Bertolt Brecht)
Struggle for Democracy
The uprising movement in Iran is not about the election nor it's about either candidates, rather it's about regime change.

Oppressed People of Iran Warn the Green Reformers
You the Green Reformers and/or any Religious Nationalists get out of the way of the oppressed people of Iran. Iranians will never put their faith and trust into the hands of parasitic mullahs, the puppets of the world powers’ hegemony. After the fall of IRI, a secular democratic government based on principle of human rights will be secured in Iran. Our nation will not have a national religion, people with or without any religious faith will live together, while nobody will be questioned for his faith conviction. Any religious practice will be performed at homes and places made for this purpose and will not be allowed in public.
Bani Sadr, Vertex of the Beegh Trianlge
Bani Sadr and two other Islamic members, Ghotb zadeh and Ebrahim Yazdi, who were known as the vertices of the “Beegh Triangle” (meaning triangle of dumbs), were the three stinky Islamic commissioners and the foreign powers’ mercenaries, whose commissions were to expedite the establishment of the provisional government for delivering the country to Islamic Mullahs. In other word these three people were the pioneers responsible for the misery that our nation has entangled in today. Bani Sadr, this Islamic jackass hasn’t quit his charlatanry yet and continues to deceive people by his Islamic political prattling. He keeps dreaming of returning to Iranian political stage, he will take his dream to his grave with him.
