NCRI - MEP Julie Ward – Reyhane Jabbari’s 2nd anniversary -25 Oct 2016
I am speaking to you from the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
This week is the 2nd anniversary of the criminal execution of Reyhaneh Jabbari, a young Iranian interior decorator who was hanged on 25 October 2014 for the simple reason of having defended her dignity at the age of only 19 when an agent of the regime had tried to sexually assault her. She was kept in jail for 7 years and was under constant pressure to give in and make false confessions.
