Iran has executed 26-year-old Reyhaneh Jabbari, who had killed a man who tried to rape her, despite repeated calls by rights activists for her release. An Iranian henchman hanged Jabbari at dawn, ending her seven-year jail life awaiting execution. Jabbari was arrested in 2007 for stabbing an intelligence officer who reportedly tried to sexually assault her.
