The sentence was carried out today, Amnesty International denounced. “Not only was Zeinab a minor at the time of the crime, but his trial had been grossly irregular. READ ALSO Sudan, the death sentence for the child bride who killed her violent husband canceled She had received legal assistance only in the final stages of the proceedings, in 2014, when she retracted the confession, made according to her after police officers had beaten her on every part of the body ", wrote the NGO announcing the death of the young woman. , who was 24 years old. The story dates back to 2011. Zeinab was forced to marry her husband at the age of 15. Then the physical and psychological abuse, until she decided to take justice for herself. When she was arrested at the age of 17, the girl confessed, only to retract, accusing her husband's brother of raping her and then committing the murder. She said she was held for 20 days in a police station and suffered all kinds of torture by the officers. The death sentence was postponed after in prison in 2016 the young woman remarried to an inmate and became pregnant, but gave birth to a dead child. According to the doctors, the death was caused by the shock suffered by the young woman after the execution of her cellmate. Under Iranian law, minors can be spared the death penalty if at the time of the crime "they were unable to understand the nature of their crime". According to a psychiatric report, Zeinab was found to be prey to a "severe form of depression" characterized by insomnia and "difficulty in making decisions". But, Amnesty International pointed out in one of its many complaints to try to raise awareness in the world and help save the young woman's life, this report was not taken into consideration. Since 2005 there have been about 90 such executions, of which at least five in 2018, Amnesty points out, adding that at least 80 other minors are awaiting execution in the country's prisons at the time of the crime. The story of Zeinab sadly ends while in the world the phenomenon of child brides, despite the campaigns and appeals, remains alarming: there would be at least 15 million. © REPRODUCTION RESERVED Tuesday 2 October 2018, 20:29 << CLOSE SHARE THE NEWS OTHER FROM FOREIGN Sex on the plane with the professor, the sixteen-year-old in court: "For me she was like a girlfriend" Brain-eating amoeba kills a surfer: bacterial infection after a dip in the pool Has sore throat and cough after catching cold, 23-year-old paramedic dies 5 days later Great Britain, puts her son to bed, puts her partner to sleep and kills herself: she had lost her job Ferry with 335 passengers on fire in the Baltic Sea: "There was an explosion" BECOME A FAN FOLLOW US ON TWITTER Follow @IlGazzettino COMMENTS THE NEWS LATEST ADDED MOST VOTED 0 of 0 available comments FOLLOW THE GAZZETTINO FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK TODAY IN THE GAZZETTINO Venetian chefs on the podium of taste Farewell to Stelvio Cipriani, his are the notes of an anonymous Venetian Aznavour, last of the chansonniers Brunello's 40 years of theater: "Puppets, my vocation" IL RICONOSCIMENTO James P.
