Article 569

Mahabad- Limo Ibrahimi, daughter of Umar, from an impoverished blue collar family, was detained last year in Hamadan on suspicion of murder. Two months ago she received a death sentence from the Islamic court. She worked with her husband in a chicken farm, where the farm’s owner attempted to rape Ms. Ibrahimi. Her husband killed the owner in defense, and Ms. Ibrahimi is being held on sole murder charges because they cannot find her husband. Essentially the Islamic court has given a death sentence to a woman who defended her honor and her physical safety.
