The Islamic regime in Iran carried out the death sentence against a woman who as a result of a heart attack had already died!
On Wednesday February 17:th 2021 the Iranian regime committed yet another atrocious and horrifying crime in the RajaiShahr prison in Karaj, which the whole world should be aware of and strongly condemn.
On this day, Zahra Esmaeili, a woman sentenced to death, suffered cardiac arrest and died in a state of shock after seeing the execution of 16 other people before her eyes. Despite this, the execution of Zahra Esmaeili continued and her lifeless body was hanged. The Islamic regimes thus hung her lifeless body to show it’s absolute power over life and death and to prove that no matter what, a death sentence can and will be carried out.
Zahra Esmaeili was accused of participating in the murder of her husband.
She was 42 years old and had two children.
Her lawyer, OmidMoradi, later wrote on her Facebook that: “16 people were hanged before it was time for the verdict against Zahra Esmaeili to be carried out. 16 executions took place before her eyes. Zahra suffered a heart attack before she reached the gallows. Her heart stopped and she died. Despite this, they hung her lifeless body.” OmidMoradi also wrote that, Zahra’s death certificate states that she died of cardiac arrest.
The news agency Mizan, which belongs to the Islamic judiciary, denied the incident as they usually do, by publishing a denial post.
We now fear that Moradi will be pressured and threatened to deny this terrible crime as well.
Zahra Esmaeili’s cruel fate and the horribleness that was done to her have caused great outrage in Iran.
People are particularly upset because it is believed that Esmaeili was in fact not even guilty of her husband’s death.
We want to make it known to the outside world that the Iranian regime not only assaults and kills the living but they will also let the dead be hanged as a display of power.
This incident clearly shows what a morbid, criminal and violent institution the Islamic regime is and that the citizens of Iran are under it’s brutal and cruel oppression. The hanging of Zahra Ismaili’s lifeless body is a ghastly crime and we cannot let it pass unnoticed. Communities around must protest these crimes against humanity. We call on activists around the world as well as all governments, organizations and institutions that believe in human rights and therefore are opposed to death penalty, to protest this horrific crime and to pressure and condemn the Islamic Republic of Iran. We ask you to boycott the Islamic regime and to defend the Iranian people’s struggle to free themselves from the terrible theocratic dictatorship that they are under. 19 february 2021
