Fredag formiddag svirret Twitter-ryktene om at den 22-årige iraneren Delara Darabis dødsdom ble fullbyrdet ved hengning tidligere på morgenen. Frem til nå har det vært få nyheter å spore til støtte for ryktet, bortsett fra disse twitringene (ca kl 11.45), blant flere:

Delara skulle etter planen henrettes 20. april, men hengingen ble utsatt i to måneder, som nevnt i en tidligere post.

Mens jeg skrev denne posten, sjekket jeg Wikipedia for ytterligere fakta, noe som skulle vise seg å bli en liten åpenbaring:

Delara Darabi [navnet skrevet med persisk tegnsetting er fjernet] born September 29, 1986, died May 1, 2009, was an Iranian girl at the risk of imminent execution for a murder which took place when she was 17 years old. She denied committing the crime. Iran is a state party to international treaties that expressly prohibit the use of the death penalty for crimes committed by those under the age of 18.

Mer om Delaras angivelige forbrytelse i den samme Wikipedia-artikkelen:

According to Delara the murder of her father’s female cousin was committed by the 19 year old boyfriend, with whom she was in love. Delara Darabi initially confessed to the murder, but soon retracted her confession. She claims that Amir Hossein asked her to admit responsibility for the murder to protect him from execution, believing that as she was under the age of 18, she could not be sentenced to death.

Delara Darabi was sentenced to death by a lower court in the northern city of Rasht. The sentence has been upheld by the Supreme Court. She maintained her innocence, and claimed that she was under the influence of sedatives during the burglary. At this stage the Head of the Judiciary had the power to order a stay of execution and a review of the case. Amir Hossein has reportedly received a prison sentence of 10 years for his involvement in the crime.^[1][2][3]

Dersom dette stemmer: Hvil i fred, Delara.
