Khadijeh Shahla Jahed (10 May 1969 – 1 December 2010) was an Iranian nurse[1] who was sentenced to death for her alleged involvement in the murder of her boyfriend's wife. She was hanged on 1 December 2010, being the 146th person to be executed in Iran in that year.[2]
Case and sentencing
Jahed had been living with Nasser Mohammadkhani, an Iranian footballer[3] becoming his mistress in a temporary marriage. Jahed was arrested and charged for the 9 October 2002 murder of Laleh Saharkhizan, Mohammadkhani's wife.[4] Mohammadkhani was in Germany when the killing happened, but it emerged later that he was "temporarily married" to Jahed, a practice allowed under Shia Islam.
Jahed was tried and sentenced to death in June 2004. The footballer Mohammadkhani first faced charges of adultery. These were later dropped,[3] and he was sentenced to 74 lashes for drug-taking after the court heard he had smoked opium with Jahed.[4]
Execution
International human rights groups had campaigned for her release as she had already been jailed for more than eight years.[5] One day prior to the execution, Amnesty International made a last-minute appeal for the execution to be halted, saying Jahed had not received a fair trial. Iranian courts halted the execution of Shahla Jahed when the case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani became public[citation needed].
Jahed was executed on 1 December 2010 at 5am local time at the Evin prison, north of Tehran.[2][3][5] The victim's brother was allowed to pull the stool from under her feet.[2]
