HORRIFIC!

Two new cases of “honor killings” in #Iran under the mullahs’ regime.

L-Reyhaneh Ameri, 22, was killed on June 15 by her father with an ax for coming home late.
R-Fatemeh Barihi, 19, was beheaded by her husband.

The mullahs’ misogyny is to blame.
2)
In late May, Romina Ashraf, 13, was beheaded in her sleep by her own father.
These innocent women are the victims of honor killings in Iran which are sanctioned & institutionalized by the laws of the clerical regime.

3)
Reyhaneh's sister went to her parents' home on Monday at around 8:30 or 9 am. When she entered there was no one home & Reyhaneh's room was locked. She knocks constantly & no one answers.
She notices the rugs are in disarray. A few minutes later her father comeshome.
4)
Noticing her daughter the father is caught off guard, says he doesn't know where the others are & enters his bedroom. When he comes out he is still tucking his shirt in & rushes out of the house.
When the mother comes home Reyhaneh's sister asks about her sibling.
5)
Her mother says when left the house in the morning Reyhaneh was still in her room & her door was open. Then she tells her daughter what happened the night before.

Reyhaneh had returned home at around 11:30 pm & had a quarrel with her father. After that she went to her room.
6)
Reyhaneh's father tells his wife, "One day I will kiss that girl."

In 2017 he once tried to kill her & severely beat her with a stick, leaving her entire body swollen. Reyhaneh's arms & leg were broken & her sister intervened to save her life.
7)
Reyhaneh's sister becomes nervous & says something might have happened to her. Reyhaneh's mother & sister finally open her door & see the room in a mess. All her clothes are on the floor. Her mother begins to gather up the clothes, only to see they are wet.
8)
When she pulls the clothes aside Reyhaneh's mother sees the middle of the room is full of blood. There is blood also on the walls.
They call the police. When they arrive, the officers see blood under the rugs. They believe Reyhaneh was dragged from her room to a car.
9)
Reyhaneh's father had many axes & they realize one of them is not in its place. They start thinking he may have used it to attack Reyhaneh.

While the police wait for Reyhaneh's father to come back home, they track Reyhaneh's mobile phone to a deserted area.
10)
The tracking device shows the location near the village of Ekhtiar Abad, a 15-min drive from the city of Kerman in south-central Iran.

When Reyhaneh's father comes home he is immediately arrested by the police. He is angry & denies knowing anything.
11)
The trunk of his car was full of blood. So was the back license plate. Reyhaneh's father is arrested & her mother is sent to a hospital.

They search for Reyhaneh until 11 pm. Her father wouldn't say anything other than that it wasn't him & he hadn't killed Reyhaneh.
12)
At 11 pm he says with a smile that he did kill Reyhaneh with a blow of his ax to her head, and left her body in an open area near the city of Kerman.

When they find Reyhaneh she was dead. Physicians at the forensics said she was alive until 9 pm. She was suffering for hours.
13)
Fatemeh was forced to marry to her abusive cousin at the age of 17. She was beheaded by her husband.

State media justified this heinous murder by writing this is the result of Fatemeh fleeing her husband & betraying him the day after their marriage.
14)
This is the regime's attempt to justify this killing under the mullahs' laws that allow men to kill his wife in case of adultery.

One of Fatemeh's relatives has spoken out & shed light on the truth.
15)
A few years ago Fatemeh's sister was forced to marry a few years ago (Fatemeh's future brother-in-law). The result was nothing but being beaten by her husband, a miscarriage due to blow to her body, and finally, a woman without any hope in life.

Fatemeh didn't want this.
16)
Fatemeh's husband was more of the same & she was constantly under physical & psychological pressure.

As a result, with the help of a friend, Fatemeh fled her husband a few months into their marriage & goes to the city of Mashhad in northeast Iran.
"One day I will kill that girl."

Apologies for the typo.
17)
Some time later Fatemeh's father finds her (how, it is not certain) & returns her to Abadan, southwest Iran.

Her father remembers how they his own sister was beheaded. She was accused of adultery for seeking a divorce from her husband who was sentenced to life in jail.
18)
Therefore, seeking an "easier death," he poisons Fatemeh. But Fatemeh's mother finds out & saves her life.

Fatemeh was then taken to a river & beheaded.

It is said that since Fatemeh's father will not seek justice due to his fear. Fatemeh's murderer will walk free.
19)
Unfortunately, murder takes place everywhere in our world.

But in #Iran, the laws of the mullahs' regime literally support murderers, allowing them to literally pre-plan & kill their female family members, knowing they can walk free.
20)
Good God...

There are now reports that Leyla Farrokhi has been killed by her husband in the city of Karaj, west of the Iranian capital Tehran. Her husband then committed suicide.

Their 19-year old daughter, witness to this tragedy, is reportedly injured.
21)
Apologies for there is a typo in tweet number six of this thread. The tweet should read:

"One day I will kill that girl."
