October 27, 2022: Unidentified woman executed in Borujerd on October 27 A woman was hanged in the Prison of Borujerd on Thursday, October 27, 2022. The unidentified woman was charged with deliberate murder of her husband. This is the 202nd execution of women in Iran since 2007. Many women are currently awaiting execution in prison. Some of these women are being held in Qarchak Prison on death row. These women are mostly mothers and have several children. Political prisoner Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee wrote in a letter on July 27, 2019, about women who were sentenced to death for murder, saying, “In meeting women convicted of murder, I learned that a large percentage of them had murdered their husbands —instantly or based on a premeditated plan—after years of being humiliated, insulted, battered and even tortured by them and because of being deprived of their right to divorce. Although, they consider themselves criminals but are convinced that if any of their repeated appeals for divorce had been granted, they would not have committed such a crime.”
