Remembering Reyhaneh Jabbari: Death
by Self-Defense
Author: Sara Hassani
"Beg so that it is arranged
that as soon as I am hanged, my heart, kidney, eye, bones and anything that can
be transplanted, be taken away from my body and given to someone who needs them
as a gift."
Just over a week ago, October 25th 2015,
marked the first anniversary of Reyhaneh Jabbari's execution. She was 26 years
old. Arrested at the age of 19 for what the Iranian authorities called
"premeditated murder," she and her family readily maintained that her
actions were in self-defense against a man, Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, who had
allegedly tried to rape her. While Reyhaneh had already served seven years in
prison prior to her hanging, the reason for her eventual fate is simple:
Reyhaneh was executed because she was a woman.
At first glance, this assertion
might seem far-fetched or even hyperbolic, but I assure you that it is grounded
in an uncomfortable reality. To this day, in Iran, a woman's testimony carries
half the official weight a man's and, in extenuating circumstances, such as the
case of a murder trial, a woman's testimony may not be considered at all. In
fact, as the Iran Human Rights Documentation Centre reports, "Under some
circumstances, relying only on the testimony of women (regardless of the
number) can constitute a false accusation." Therefore, although Reyhaneh,
her family, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran
Ahmad Shaheed, and organizations like Amnesty International pleaded with the
courts in her defense, in accordance with Iran's Law of Retribution (Qisas), it
was ultimately incumbent on her attacker's family to absolve her of her
'crimes,' something they refused to do for Reyhaneh's insistence that Sarbandi
had attempted to rape her.
