Mohammad Ali Jaddari Forughi, the lawyer of death row prisoner Sahar Mahabadi Monfared wrote, “Sahar Mahabadi Monfared was saved from “Qisas” (punishment of retaliation) at 2:30 pm on October 5, 2015 after the victim’s family agreed to spare her…”
It is noteworthy that Reyhaneh Jabbari, a 26-year old decorator who was in the same ward with Sahar for almost a year prior to her execution, had made extensive effort with the help of her mother – Mrs. Sho’le Pakravan – to save Sahar’s life and have her spared from execution.
