'Mother, they're going to kill me': Outrage as Iran executes woman, 23, for alleged murder when she was just 17
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 02nd May 2009
An Amnesty International member protester demonstrates outside the Iranian Embassy in Kensington on Delara Darabi's behalf
A 23-year-old woman made a frantic phonecall to her mother begging for help before Iran authorities held a rushed execution - disregarding a stay-of-execution and allegedly without informing her lawyer.
'Mother they are going to execute me, please save me,' Delara Darabi screamed, before a prison official grabbed the phone and told her mother: 'We are going to execute your daughter and there's nothing you can do about it.'
She was just 17 when she confessed to the killing of her father's cousin, before retracting her confession, saying she had been defending her 19-year-old boyfriend.

“Enlightened” American Democrats would do the same to “troublesome” people. You know, all it takes is a “national emergency”.
The Liberal Left Lunatics believe these Horrific Animals are better than US! America has come to a Dangerous Stage of It’s Life! The Chinese are watching and chuckling as they nod their heads in confirmation of their strategic assessments. They believe America will destroy Itself from Within! and they are Thrilled with Zero Hussein and his Cohorts as is All of America’s Enemies!:-(
The execution of the young woman is another damaging blow to President Barack Obama's attempts to thaw US relations with the Islamic regime.
There are no words for this idiocy.
Yet the American Left including the MSM, Women’s Rights Groups, Etc) remain silent.
Expect their silence as long as a Dem is in office.
I can think of one ... impeachment
They will always remain silent in cases like this because they are terrified of them. They only open their mouths in the U.S.A. because they know they can get away with bullying around people and smearing for cash.
It’s always about money and power in the end.
You don't think Amnesty International is Leftist? Try attending their meetings. (I did, and it was fun to pass around letters protesting the treatment of Christians being persecuted around the world. :-)
I don’t consider Amnesty International an exclusively American group. But I do agree that they are very left.
What do they expect from these terrorists? I don’t understand how left wing news outlets continue to show surprise and shock at behaviour like this. It is only these pieces of garbage acting true to form. The same ppl that the left defends and supports and ridicules the USA for trying to change.
and the constant cries of outrage and indignation from these human rights orgs are soooo useless as nothing tangible ever happens. What a waste of time. It is old already.
Yup, a Democrat Congress is going to impeach a popular Democrat president any day now.
Did you mean that one for me? I know AI is totally leftist. I am speaking of women’s rights groups...they are junk. They never stand up for any women in Arab countries because they are terrified of the consequences.
At least the didn’t threaten her with a caterpillar!
Yep, and Obama, alledged POTUS, bows to them.
You just said “they”...and the post you were responding to referred to the American Left. And I’m glad that AI stood up against this.
We’re on the same page about many so-called women’s rights groups.
