برای عاطفه سهاله دختری 16 ساله که اعدام شد و زندگی مرا به دنبال خویش کشاند
آسیه امینی


پایین تر از دهان ابر

بالاتر از ابروی باد

تاب می خورد

پیراهنی سیاه

که طنابی به آسمانش گره می زند.

کف می زنند مردم و هورا می کشند:

" ماسورا.... ماسورا....!"

زوزه می کشد ماده گرک جوان

و نمایش تمام می شود.

The full documentary about Atefeh

by Azarin Sadegh on Tue Sep 30, 2008 01:36 AM PDT

Very hard to watch...it was the first documentary that I had seen about the execution of children in Iran. Since then, I couldn't forget about her life and death and about what she had to go through during her short 16 years of life:

and

Being raised by her old and sick grandma and her absent addicted father, Atefeh lived and grew up on her own...She was repeatedly raped by an old influential man in their village (since she was just a kid) and when she finally dared to protest, she was accused of adultery and was executed.

She reminds me of a wild flower trapped in dirt...

I don't believe in hell. I don't believe in heaven, but I think what she endured wasn't really life. What she endured in that "unseen zone of torment" in between.

You're right Nazy jan

So many of these kids do not deserve to die. They don't even deserve to be kept in prison.

What kind of justice system is this? and these are the people who claim they believe in God and heaven and hell? 

It's hard to comprehend this level of evil.

:(

When I heard about her I was so shocked that how environment forces a 16 year-old girl or younger to grow up faster than her time and pay a high price for it. The most unfortunate part for me hearing about her life was the love between the younger boy and her, and that he really loved her for who she was: not a virgin body, but a fresh, lively, and giving person.I was so disgusted when I heard that the guy with whom she had sexual activity, someone her father's age whom might have given her fatherly love, was present and saw her execution and has been free ever since. IT IS NOT FAIR.

22

He smiles. And when he isn't smiling, he's laughing. And when he isn't laughing, he's shooting hoops, writing, studying, listening to music, earning his pocket money, and celebrating life.

He is a young man, enjoying life, learning and growing, my son, aged 22.

What if she was 22 instead of 16? Says who she deserved to die?

And the most shocking part of this story which defied belief every step of the way was that the judge put the noose around her neck. The judge became the executioner...think about that and weep for her who may have been 16 or 22, never getting a chance to live and grow, the last person she saw, her executioner, the same as her judge and jury.

Humanity was degraded on the day this happened, whether we knew about it or not.

why was such a young girl

by gold fish (not verified) on Mon Sep 29, 2008 08:35 AM PDT

why was such a young girl executed? And how could she have been accused of adultery when she was not even married?

Ali Darabi (51-year-old ex-revolutionary guard who repeatedly raped her in her teens) and Haji Rezai ( the religious judge) should be punished.
