Before her execution, she recorded a message for her mother: "I want the world to know what is being done to me." Reyhaneh Jabbari was 19 when a former intelligence officer tried to sexually assault her. She fought back. He died. She spent seven years in Evin Prison. The world signed petitions. Iran sharpened the rope. She was 26. Iran hanged her anyway. Rs Under Sharia law in Iran, to prove rape, a woman must produce four male witnesses to the act itself. Four. Male. Witnesses. If she cannot, her accusation becomes a confession. She is no longer the victim. She is the criminal and faces flogging. Or prison. Or death. This is not ancient history. This is the law that is still on the books today. The law that Abdul El-Sayed is asking Americans not to fear. Women in Iran don't have a #MeToo movement. They have a noose.
