IRAN TO HANG 19-YEAR-OLD MOTHER
September 12, 2005: a young Iranian mother was sentenced to execution in the town of Langaroud, northern Iran, the semi-official daily Jomhouri Islami reported. The young woman was identified as 19-year-old Hajar Vafi from the nearby town of Lahijan. She has a two-year-old infant. She was sentenced to execution after an Islamic court in Langaroud convicted her of murdering her aunt earlier this year following a dispute over money. (Sources: Iran Focus, 12/09/2005)
