Jafar was stoned for helping Mokarrameh run away from a sexually-abusive man

According to Dr Jamshidi, the Judiciay’s spokesman, Jafar Kiani, the stoned man, had helped Mokarrameh Ebrahimi [the name is written in different ways] run away from her abusive husband, who forced her to sleep with other men for money. Mokarrameh, who had three children at the time, met Jafar and he helped her leave her hometown, Islam Abad, and take refuge in Takistan. She privately married to Jafar, without registering the marriage. After four years, they went back to Islam Abad and were arrested following her ex-husband’s complaint. They have spent eight or eleven years in prison, according to different accounts. Jafar’s fate was decided by Judge Ashabi (اصحابی) to be stoning in Aghche-kand, a small village near Takistan, Ghazvin, on Thursday July 5th.

This is just silly.

  1. Not silly. It just shows how irrelevant human lives are to those who are supposed to protect them in Iran.

  2. Now everyone in the Judiciary system claims he was against this stoning and makes statement of why Jafar and Mokarame should not be convicted to stoning and Islamic mercy and so on. Is not it sorrowful that “Dr Jamshidi, the Judiciay’s spokesman” uses Islamic and Iranian Judiciary rules to prove none of them should be stoned. Is not it a bit late, at least 7 years. What’s happened to Mokarame’s husband? Does anyone bother to ask him if he has forced his wife to adultery or not? Shame on all of us.
