Should Leila be executed?

Leila, an Irani girl, who was sentencd to death at age of 18, because the judges found her guilty of prostitution, fortunately a laywer had finally saved her.

Should Leila be executed? Is she guilty?

In Iran, girls are considered as the first commodity can be sold or rent from parents' eyes, normally the families sold their daughters are poor.

leila was sold for sex at age of nine, and later on she continuously to be sold for dozens of men for supporting her family.

Leila's father and three brothers are all drug addtics, they are not working, the only income comes froms Leila's prostitution.

In Iran, father has the absolute power that he can do anything, even he decides to kill his child - the severest sentence he will gain is to sentence for couple of years.

Unfair judgement

The judges in Iran who handing this kind of cases were not educated, they saw women doing sex business were devils.

However, they would never ask why Leila started sex prostitution? Who are the people force leila to sell her body? And why women should be the person to be blamed?

This year, there are 7 women to be hangovered, and Leila would become the eighth one (if she was not saved by the Lawyer).

Leila's progress along with the whole legal system

Today Leila is 22 however, she is illerate, and she just started to learn things from scratch, and the progress is slow but she is happy that she is learning.

The Iran legal system had finally became much more sympathic towards women, and less women to be executed.

Let us pray for Leila, pray for those who had same experiences as Leila, and they are the people should be protected by the rule of law.
