| Islamic Republic of Iran to Execute 13-Year-Old Girl, but First Whips Her 55 Times |
| 2004-10-30 |
| From Iran Focus, the article includes a photograph of the girl's whipped back. Zhila Izadyar, the 13-year-old schoolgirl from the Iranian town of Marivan (north-western Iran) who is sentenced to be stoned to death is reported to be in poor health after she was lashed 55 times in prison. Azad Zamani of the Society for the Protection of Children's Rights has said that Zhila's health has been rapidly deteriorating. Zamani has managed to visit Zhila although under close supervision of the Iranian regime's agents. Zamani stated that Zhila said, "I am scared; I want to go home; I want to be able to go back to school like other kids". Zhila was convicted of having an incestuous relationship with her 15-year-old brother and giving birth to an illegitimate child. Zhila is reported to have been in a very bad state while she has had to spend time in solitary confinement under close guard. Zamani had reported that Zhila now has a very bad eating pattern and she constantly vomits. Another source, who wished not to be named, said that Zhila has been beaten by guards while she in jail and has not been allowed to see her newborn child. Reports have also come out that Zhila's brother Bakhtiar has also been flogged in prison. Zhila faces death by stoning while Bakhtiar faces 150 lashes as well as prison time, according to the clerical judge who issued their verdict. |

| #11 I'm sure Kerry 'has a plan' to deal with this. Sounds to me like her 'dear brother' raped her. Az, On they are human all right. Just not civilized humans. |

| #8 This would not have happened if she had done the honorable thing and kill herself. We should reach out to the mullahs, not judge them. Maybe the un can look into making this part of the international ourt? This is all Bush's fault, elect me and we wont hear about cases like these anymore. I will reach out to the mullah and have them run the courts in private or secret. |

| #7 SUPPRESSED FROM THE SCENE --- The convicting mullah fought for the right to flog her. As a convinced believer he occasionally had to stop because he was getting too excited. He was continually aroused during the flogging, and collapsed on at least two occasions... Proclaiming Allah Akhbar too many times to count, he said afterwards that it is rare to work on ones style ahead of time. When one gets to paradise one needs to know how to handle the situation when one gets to handle 72 virgns. One is tough, and she isn't even a virgin! Only Allah can give me the strength to handle 72 nubile young |

| #1 This is why the U. S. should stay out of Iran. These people really believe in family values unlike some families that have a daughter who's a lesbian. |
