I saw a part of a documentary on BBC Worldservice today. I didn't really pay attention to it and I thought it was about the economic recession in Iran.
What I saw was a man who showed the rooms in a house. Listening I learned that he was a famous football player. He was married and had a so called mistress. Now his wife was murdered and the football player his mistress found the dead body.
Now she is the accused murderer. Her name is Shahla Jahed. She confessed she did the manslaughter. But later she withdraw her confession, saying she was under pressure.
The law is severe in Iran. She is sentenced to death by hanging. When I see her in the documentary as a smart woman pleading not guilty I believe her. There is reason for doubt and that is one of many reasons I am against death penalties.
Investigate this, prosecutor of Iran, instead of prosecuting peaceful demonstrators.
