Quote: | Atefeh's crime? Offending public morality. She was found guilty of "acts incompatible with chastity" by having sex with an unmarried man, even though friends say Atefeh was in such a fragile mental state that she wasn't in a position to say no.
It was when Atefeh appeared before Judge Rezaii for a fourth time that she lost her temper - and also her life. In a rage she tore off her hi jab - a headscarf - and told the judge she had been raped and it was his duty to punish her tormentors, not their victim.
Rezaii told her she would hang for her "sharp tongue" and that he would put the noose around her neck himself. It became a personal crusade as he traveled to Tehran and convinced the Supreme Court to uphold his verdict.

The crazy thing is the judge actually did put the noose around her neck and he did signal the crane to lift her up by the neck. What the Hell possessed him to do that? He showed that 16 year old girl. ¿Quien es mas macho?
