She was 29 years of age and was arrested in 2016 for\u00a0<\/span>allegedly killing her fianc\u00e9<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Iranian regime has so-far\u00a0<\/span>not\u00a0<\/span>announced H<\/span>aji\u00a0<\/span>Hassani\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0execution.\u00a0<\/span>On the same day, another woman named Sara M. was executed in Mashhad Prison, the state-run\u00a0<\/span>Rokna<\/span>\u00a0news agency reported on January 14, 2020.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sara M. was executed afte<\/span>r spending three years in prison on death row<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019,\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>Iranian\u00a0<\/span>regime hanged<\/span>\u00a0at least 16 women<\/span>\u00a0simultaneous\u00a0<\/span>with increasing suppression and executions in Iran. In three weeks of December 2019 alone, six women were executed in various Iranian prisons.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              The actual number of executions\u00a0<\/span>in Iran\u00a0<\/span>is much\u00a0<\/span>higher<\/span>\u00a0because most executions in Iran are carried out in secrecy, away from the public eye.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              Iran holds\u00a0<\/span>the world\u2019s top record\u00a0<\/span>for<\/span>\u00a0women\u2019s execution<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Since the\u00a0<\/span>regime<\/span>\u00a0fails<\/span>\u00a0to categorize murders\u00a0<\/span>according<\/span>\u00a0to their degrees, anyone committing murder is sentenced to death, regardless of their motives. Many of the women convicted of murder in Iran are themselves victims of violence against women and have committed murder in self-defense. The trials and sentences issued are grossly unfair.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              According to the NCRI\u2019s Women\u2019s Committee<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0\u201cMany women are currently awaiting execution in prison. Some of these women are being held in\u00a0<\/span>Qarchak<\/span>\u00a0Prison on the death row. These women are mostly mothers and have several children.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
