Iran’s regime hanged a woman by the name of Fatemeh R. last week in Gohardasht (Rajai-Shahr) Prison of Karaj, according to state-run media outlets. Fatemeh’s death marks the execution of the 100th woman since Hassan Rouhani took office as the Iranian regime’s President.
Fatemeh was arrested in 2015 at the age of 17, for allegedly killing her husband during a family quarrel, the state-run News.ir website reported on December 16, 2019.
She was a minor at the time of committing the alleged crime, according to the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

At least 4,000 individuals have been executed during the Rouhani term in office. The actual number of executions certainly surpasses 4,000, because most executions in Iran are carried out secretly. Iran’s regime is holding the record of executions per capita.
According to Javaid Rehman, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, so far in 2019, “conservative estimates indicate that at least 173 executions have been carried out.”
Rehman also said at the U.N. General Assembly’s human rights committee that he has “credible information” there are at least 90 child offenders currently on death row in Iran.
“Iran executed seven child offenders last year and two so far this year even though human rights law prohibits the death penalty for anyone under age 18,” Rehman added.
Rehman also expressed deep concern at the overall use of the death penalty in Iran.
