Delara Darabi executed in Iran
Hier kreeg ik het net -weer eens- koud van. Hoe vreselijk ook, de gebeurtenis van afgelopen Koninginnedag, het is een uitzondering in ons land en onderstaand verhaal onderstreept nog weer eens dat er weinig landen in de wereld zijn waar het zo veilig wonen is.

Iranian authorities executed Delara Darabi in Rasht Central Prison on Friday morning. She is the second person to be executed this year after being convicted of a crime she was alleged to have commited while still under 18, Amnesty International has revealed.
"Amnesty International is outraged at the execution of Delara Darabi, and particularly at the news that her lawyer was not informed about the execution, despite the legal requirement that he should receive 48 hours' notice," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme.
"This appears to have been a cynical move on the part of the authorities to avoid domestic and international protests which might have saved Delara Darabi's life."
Delara Darabi was executed despite her having been given a two-month stay of execution by the Head of the Judiciary on 19 April.
"This indicates that even decisions by the Head of the Judiciary carry no weight and are disregarded in the provinces," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui.
Delara Darabi was convicted of murdering a relative in 2003 when she was 17. She initially confessed to the murder, believing she could save her boyfriend from the gallows, but later retracted her confession. She was detained at Rasht Prison in northern Iran since her arrest in 2003, during which time she developed a significant talent as a painter.
Amnesty International does not consider her trial to have been fair, as the courts later refused to consider new evidence which the lawyer said would have proved she could not have committed the murder.
Amnesty International had campaigned to save her life since her case came to light in 2006, urging the Iranian authorities to commute her death sentence and calling for a her re-trial in proceedings that meet international standards.
The execution of Delara Darabi brings the number of executions in Iran this year to 140. She is the second woman known to have been executed. Iran has executed at least forty two juvenile offenders since 1990, eight of them in 2008 and one on 21 January 2009, in total disregard of international law, which unequivocally bans the execution of those convicted of crimes committed when under the age of 18.doodstraf zonder eerlijk

Taliban is idd niet vrouwvriendelijk. Maar in sommige gebieden (weet zo niet uit mijn hoofd welke) is het voor veel vrouwen onveiliger geworden sinds de taliban daar weg is.
Er zit nog een heleboel niet goed in dat land, maar 'weg met de taliban' is niet per definitie de oplossing. Er moet veel méér veranderen, dan alleen dat.

Fleur, je lijkt nu éénzijdig te denken. 'Laten we de Taliban maar zitten want anders creeeren we een ander veiligheidsprobleem'.
Vind dit echt kortzichtig, terwijl je dat niet bent (?)Heb ik niet helemaal zelf bedacht hoor. Heb jarenlang vrijwilligers werk gedaan voor RAWA (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan ) en veel contact met die vrouwen van die organisatie gehad (die zowel in Afghanistan en Peshawar woonden en werkten). Ik was ook altijd van mening dat de Taliban gewoon weg moest, koste wat kost. Na een aantal jaar dat gedaan te hebben, begon ik er (door de dingen die zij zeiden en schreven) er iets genuanceerder over te denken.
