Reyhaneh Jabbari has been transferred to Rajai-Shahr Prison to be hanged — while the world parties at the UN and gets ready to permit Iran nuclear capability.

Editor's Note: Sadly, Reyhaneh Jabbari was executed by hanging on October 25, 2014.

Reyhaneh Jabbari has been transferred to Rajai-Shahr Prison to be hanged — while the world parties at the UN and gets ready to permit Iran nuclear capability.

While the West is focused on an Iran nuclear deal and defeating ISIS terrorists, the executioner-regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran continues violating human rights.

The regime has just transferred Reyhaneh Jabbari to Rajai-Shahr Prison in Tehran and, as she is transferred to be executed, told her to say goodbye to her mother and family.

The Petition to Save Reyhaneh Jabbari from being hanged has been signed by over 188,000 people, but as usual has been ignored by the Iranian regime.

Reyhaneh Jabbari's execution may carried out by tomorrow.

Reyhaneh, as a Jewish Iranian woman (also a child of the Universe, similar to you) I am praying for you and your family. Stay Brave. Stay in Faith.

She stood up for herself and this shows the world that women should have right to defend themselves. Woman are human beings and should not be violated against their will in any country and punishment should fit the crime committed. Throughout history men have violated women and it needs to stop!

The reality of the situation is that whatever Iran's negotiators claim, they are developing a nuclear weapon, together with the means of delivering it. When that happens all the side shows will be meaningless. Given Iran's attitude towards Israel, the world will become an infinitely more dangerous place. That Ahmadinejad has been replaced by Rouhani means nothing. Their ultimate goal of developing a nuclear bomb remains exactly the same.

Impossible to believe this barbaric behavior exists in the 21st century.

In Iran's prisons women are raped before execution so they are no longer virgins and therefore, according to hardline Islamic beliefs, can no longer go to heaven. None of these girls would ever know the joys of romantic love. None of them would ever hold her own baby in her arms. Their final days have been filled with a level of abuse few can imagine

Medieval, barbaric, disgusting.
These men are seriously sick and get off on tormenting women.
It is beyond primitive and they are to have nuclear weapons ?

Poor Reyhaneh, she chose to act like a normal human being and forgot that in the eyes of her country's legal misconception the victim is always to blame, if she happens to be a woman.

There is a Creator, and the criminals of this regime will face the consequences. That doesn't help Reyhaneh Jabbari in face of the monsters. But unlike her, none of them will ever have a clear conscience. And conscience shadows a soul for all Eternity.

To my shame, I didn't know of this poor young woman's plight, but have now signed the petition.
What kind of country is this, which executes the young, the poor and the dissident with such alacrity?
Shame on Iran.

Quite sad this is happening. Unfortunately, this is a trend in this totalitarian regime.

The adage No Jews ... No News applies. If Israel is defending, the world is in horror, but if Syria and Iran are killing their own citizens there is nothing wrong with it. Arabs killing Arabs, Persians killing Persians is fine and all of them killing each other is not a problem. When Jews defend themselves then the entire world is in an uproar.

Iran is still controlled by religious bigots holding the same distorted views as Khomeini, a man that made England's hanging judge, Judge Jeffries, appear as a liberal.

Until these fools are destroyed the west and all nations considering themselves civilised should boycott Iran. I recognise that the majority of people in Iran are not evil but they allow themselves to be coerced by the medieval minded scum in control.

Given the history of Persian achievement, it would be an understatement to say the Iranians are an intelligent people. Unfortunately, the nature of the Islamist cult ensures that brutes such as Khomeini rise to power. The worse you are, the higher you will rise. In the West, we are witnessing this rise. I pray for ourselves, Reyhaneh, and all victims.

The religious fanatics hold onto their power through terror tactics. Dissent in any form is not tolerated. No good will come of this but how much longer they will be in power is anybody's guess.

The Iranian justice system is maligning kangaroos, who have previously been associated with hack justice, as "Kangaroo Courts."

From now on, I propose the term, Iranian Courts, to replace Kangaroo Courts.

I feel sorry and wish the poor woman Reyhaneh Jabbari courage in the face of such gross injustice. How base can human be. In this modern day and age such primitive barbarism prevails under Islamic Iran. Human rights are non existent when one sees dangling young boys off a crane in the News the crime being gay. The immoral Human Rights Commission at the UN seem to be silent as a shadow, It has only one client to vent its spleen : Israel. Ban Ki Moon does not use the same outrage to Iran who commits such atrocities in public, as he expressed himself when Israel defended itself.

Obama pats his back on a deal with fanatical Mullahs. In the West we have failed the day to day people. The UN and its various organs have failed the free world. One life lost is one too many. The barbarians are at the gates again -- this time it is a fanatical ,terrorist supporting state. Wake up America!
