Samira was a child bride married at 15 and a victim of domestic violence. She had two young children, one a new-born baby, when she was arrested and had not seen her children in ten years. She saw them for the first and last time when they came to the prison to say goodbye.

At the time of writing, her execution has not been reported by domestic media or officials in Iran.

Rights group calls for Ali Khamenei and other leaders of the Islamic Republic to be held accountable for this crime.

This is horrible and should be documented... but let's be realistic: nobody will be held accountable as long as Iran has Oil and Nukes... and by the time it runs out of those, the people responsible will likely be long dead.

All we can do is hope for Cold Fusion to become a reality, so all the Oil based dictatorships would collapse.
