IRAN - 111th woman executed

29 December 2020 :

A woman, Zeinab Khodamoradi, hanged in Sanandaj prison on December 27.
On December 27, Iranian authorities executed 43-year-old Zeinab Khodamoradi at Sanandaj Central Prison. According to human rights activists, she was from Qorveh county. The human rights association No to Prison – No to Execution reported that the State Security Forces (SSF) had detained Zeinab Khodamoradi for killing her children on August 31, 2015—meaning that she spent more than five years on death row.
“Given the pressure applied by her husband and while she was in dire mental condition, this woman killed her 12-days-old son Mohammad Javad and her husband’s seven-year-old daughter Hadis,” human rights defenders said. Zeinab Khodamoradi later attempted to commit suicide, but at the last moment, she failed, according to No to Prison – No to Execution. “Before committing the crime, she had written on her foot that ‘because of her husband and his mother and sister, I end my life and children’s lives,” activists acknowledged. Her husband’s family had agreed to revoke the death penalty in return for 7 billion rials as Dieh [blood money in the Islamic Republic’s constitution]. Finally, this unfortunate woman could not provide this massive money until the specified deadline. A British website (capitalpunishmentuk.org) had reported the execution of Zeinab Khodamoradi as already carried out on 18 October. Hands off Cain had reported that news.
The execution of Zeinab Khodamoradi has not been announced by the state media in Iran as this news is being published. Zeinab Khodamoradi is the 111th woman to be executed during the presidency of Hassan Rouhani. This is the second woman executed this December.
