"The care of human life and happiness

Kaveh, Bahnam

Kaveh I've had so many discussions about this point the past few days and one of the more effective ways I've found of putting it is even more disturbing but perhaps clearer:

Delara's father turned her in to the IRI criminal "justice" ssstem in good faith. IRI violated its own laws (and surely the laws of any place that can realistically be said to have a government and not a gang in 2009) by not only not giving the legal 48 hour notice to the sentenced and kin before the eexectuion, but by giving no notice atall. Delara was given no notice and was allowed to call her parents immediately before her hanging. she told them, help me, and an authority told them, we are going to killy our daughter and you can't do anything to stop it. she died completely alone. Her fther has been hospitalized ever siince.

To make ANY MENTION WHATSOEVER of guilt or innocence or in particular fair trial is more than irrelevant under such ciriumstances. it is borderline insane.

Somehow or other I keep thinking of al-Bashir  kicking out aid organizations feeding and providing medical care for two million peole from Sudan as protest that he was indicted fro crimes against humanity. Not excactly the same, but similar logic.

No offense meant to anyone but I'm just trying to get people to see it like it is. Anyone who speaks a single solitary word of defense of IRi in this or even reproach of Delara at this point is condoning the rule of Iran by ruthless lawlessness. Implicitly.

Ask the dead blogger and the hundred beaten and arrested May Day celebrants in Tehran and the students of Amir kabir put in isolation for weeks in Evin with virtually no contact with the outside world what they think.

Even though the so-called "criminal justice system" in Iran is suspect at best, the issue here is not Delara's guilt or innocence.

The issue is that even if she were caught in the act and was covered from head to toe in the victim's blood, she was still under 18 at the time, which means capital punishment may not be considered.

We Must Be United Against ANY Injustice.

  We Must Be United Against ANY Injustice; 

I have been reading and hearing the tragic reports about Delara;

Her last days and her parent's desperate attempts to appeal to the inhuman prosecutor.... 

This Injustice will not end, until all fair minded people truly unite and raise their voices. It is only through this kind of indiscriminate Universal solidarity amongst Iranians  that can appeal to the Conscience of the rest of the world.

in 1983 A group of Canadian Singers and Artists participated in this music Video, a song written by Doug Cameron to tell the story of Mona;

A Powerful expression of unity between East and West.

Mona and Delara were of similar age and had so much hope and  promise..

RIP

Over 120000 people have been executed for their beliefs alone in Iran, the newest being Delara. This regime strives on suppression and executions; they do not understand the language of reason! you can't negotiate with such inhumane bastards who don't have an ounce of humanity in them.
Interestingly, I read an article today which spoke of the state of delara's family this morning, and the fact that she had called her parents and told them that they are going to be hanging me and I see the rope in front of me now.... Ironically, tomorrow marks the 27th anniversary of the brutal killing of 60 people across Tehran who's houses were raided in early morning hours of May 2nd. One of those killed was Mahin Khiabani, she was 5 months pregnant and as their house was being raided she called her mother and told her that she would be killed in a few minutes and had called to say her farewells.
May they all rest in peace.
As someone who has lost her father to this ruthless regime in 1988, I would like to extend my condolences to the family of Delara, I would also like them to know that one day we will make this regime pay for all the crimes they have committed against humanity, and that day is not far! We shall overcome and we will bring freedom and democracy to our beloved land, it all just depends on how much responsibility we are willing to take and how much of a sacrifice we are willing to make, because no one will hand us freedom in a silver platter.

Hatred & racism just makes things worse & help no one.

SHE WAS NOT INNOCENT دلارا بیگناه نبود

I was very saddened by Delara's execution; but it is misguided to say that she was innocent.

There are two possibilities: (1) either she killed the woman, or (2) she was present with her boyfriend while he killed her.

In the latter case, she was either a willing participant or not. If she were reluctant, she should have informed the police about the murder--which she did not. Not only did she not inform the police, she says she lied to them to protect the killer. Well then, when was she telling the truth: The first time (when she confessed to murder) or now? If she lied the first time to protect her boyfriend, how do we now she is not lying now to protect herself?

Her actions make her ONE of these three things:

(1) murderer, but if not that then:

(2) accomplice to murder, but if not that then:

(3) accessory after the fact (for protecting the actual killer by not informing the police and by lying)

So, she bears at least some of the responsibility for murder.

Nevertheless, I think they shouldn't have executed her.

Interview with her

Interview with her father:

I thought you might like to see these, P.

absolutely, it began with Obama's taking office. And it's been orchestrated like one big gruesone play with Iran as the stage and the world as the audience.

I wrote this originally for a thread on Roxana two days before Delara's SCHEDULED execution. IRoxana's been sentenced THaT DAY.  Theater. But I simply could not get them to pay attention to Delara...anyway, then I blogged it.

I'm also glad you brought up the unions. I had some things to say about that that were particularly disturbing to me as you'll see, and got more and more disturbing as the "Left" so-called would not participate on the thread.

What I mean is they're perverting language, talking about anti-Colonialism and anti-Capital, but you can't be those things if you don't care about labor. So they're..something else..and they're doing..something else..and it isn't helpful at all. And I divorced myself from them the weekend that blog was featured.

IRI is like an injured snake

they know they are losing the grip they are like injured snakes hissing and biting everyone.

It's typical of Arab and

It's typical of Arab and Muslim bastard savages to do this kind of thing. They're all a bunch of fucking backward, uncivilised, pieces of shit. Let them kill each other as that's all they can do - just like the niggers south of the Sahara.

grieving

as well we all are. but exactly what do you think the US could have done?  negotiated to keep this from happening?  are you serious?  the iranian people didn't want this to happen and the regime doesn't listen to them!  you expect the unholy mullahs to NEGOTIATE with the US?  the accelerating disintegration of HUMANITY is laid at the feet of the IRI... period.  please don't make this a global failure.

however, i agree that God will accept her with open arms.  innocent or not.

kaveh.  i am as outraged as you.  such passive words... untimely/unjust/chaotic...to describe this evil act.  surely there are better words to describe this despicable COWARDLY regime. 

i'm sure i can find some of them among the description of the jews here on iranian.com.

disgusting. 

I'm So Enraged Right Now

Not just at the IR bastards who have done this, but at those who try and rationalize matters, saying that "change will come slowly" or something similar.

The IR is going through a chaotic time? F**k them. All of them. Let the chaos result in their final downfall and their descent into either hell or some other abyss from which they'll never return.

How many times must you be bitten by these snakes before you finally realize that you cannot reason with them? 30 years of having our asses kicked isn't enough?

Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me.

IS IT SINKING IN YET?

I agree with you IRANdokht

IRI has been going through a chaotic time.

Down with IRI

Paymaneh jan

The reasoning that you suggested for this untimely/unjust execution can very well be accurate.

I personally think there are branches in IRI that are acting against each other and it's showing the internal chaos that IRI faces too.  

Thank you for your post.

IRANdokht

what to say?

there really isn't a whole lot one CAN say.  this might be one of the saddest days in recent history.  i am simply stunned and so terribly terribly sorry.

Delara Darabi

This is a tragedy of the worst kind. I keep thinking that maybe, just maybe if the USA and their so called friends had not thrown away their "moral authority" on the issue of human rights, they could have negotiated to keep this from happening. Delara is yet another victim in the accelerating disintegration of Humanity. May her God accept her with open arms as the innocent that she was.
