On January 3, 2006, Nazanin was sentenced to death for murder by a criminal court of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Court of Appeal will review her sentence, and if upheld there, it must be confirmed by the Supreme Court, before she can be executed.
According to Nazanin, as reported in the Iranian daily Etemaad [1] then 17-year-old Nazanin and her 15 year old niece (Sumayeh) were in a park in Karaj, west of Tehran with their boyfriends, when three men started harassing them. The girls' boyfriends fled from the scene, leaving them helpless behind. The men pushed Nazanin and her niece down on the ground and tried to rape them, and to protect herself, she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand ...

It is certainly true that there are terrible injustices in Iran against women, especially those from poorer parts of society, whose families are not in a position to protect them, and those who are victims of honour-type killings; in spite of being an Islamic state, Iran remains corrupt.
The problem is probably not worse in Iran than in other countries of the region, including Western allies like Saudi and Pakistan. Unfortunately, cases like Nazanin's can be used to whip up hostility to Iran and/or Islam by people who in reality care nothing for women in her situation.
Those who want to improve the position of women in Iran should support engagement with Iran rather than confrontation; in this way they aid the position of people like Khatami or other reformers, rather than Ahmadinejad.

What would you want someone to do? It is a facist state that cares nothing about it's people. The people must rise up from within. If you live there and are angry, you can be angry and scared or angry scared and mad enough to start the bad thinking to turn around. Why don't you contact the womens rights groups to help you. National association of Women. They scream about equal rights unless its in another country.

Also, this is a question and answer site. What you have posted is technically an advertisement.

She's a woman in Iran accused of killing a man. Not much anyone can do, unfortunately.
