Khatoun Hamidi, 23, hanged in the Central Prison of Qazvin on February 5. The execution of Khatoun Hamidi brings to 130 the number of women executed in Iran since summer 2013. An informed source said Khatoun (Khatoon) Hamidi was arrested 5 years ago after killing her fiancé. She did not love her fiancé and had been forced by her father, a drug addict, to marry him because he was rich. The sources added, “Khatoun had just one brother. Her mother had died, and she did not have anyone. Her brother tried hard to receive the consent of the parents of the victim, but they did not accept and demanded retribution.” Although her exact age is not known, human rights organizations suspect that Khatoun Hamidi was under 18 years of age at the time of committing the crime. The state media in Iran have not yet announced the young woman’s execution as this news is being published.
