Shahla Jahed was executed today in Evin prison by the Islamic Republic of Iran. She was found guilty in 2002 of the murder of the primary wife of her footballer husband based what is widely believed to have been a forced confession which she later retracted.
Shahla was hanged this morning at 5am in the presence of the victim's family who declined to save her life by pardoning her.
For more information on this please see blogs from Iran Solidarity and Death Penalty News, and news articles from Reuters, BBC News and The Guardian.
Please continue to support the struggle against the death penalty and against Sharia and religious laws.
