 LAST WORDS OF WOMAN ABOUT TO BE EXECUTED: A WOMAN SAYS TO HER MOM, DON'T CRY THIS IS MY DAY.

 26-year-old Iranian woman Reyhaneh Jabbari who was executed on Saturday for killing her alleged rapist

‘Dear mom, don’t cry,’ hanged Iranian woman says in last message

Reyhaneh Jabbari was executed Saturday in Iran for killing a man she claimed tried to rape her

In her final will, 26-year-old Iranian woman Reyhaneh Jabbari who was executed on Saturday for killing her alleged rapist in 2007 told her family that she would get justice in the “court of God.”

Jabbari recorded what was an originally voice message in April – the day she learned she would be hanged, according to the in-diaspora opposition political group National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) who translated and circulated her final will

"Dear Sholeh, don’t cry for what you are hearing," she adressed her mother Sholeh Pakravan in calm voice as she explained that she “gave in” to her death.

“I am telling you from the bottom of my heart that I don’t want to have a grave for you to come and mourn there and suffer. 

I don’t want you to wear black clothing for me. Do your best to forget my difficult days. Give me to the wind to take away.”

Jabbari, who was arrested at 19, asked her mother to donate her organs “and anything that can be transplanted” to someone in need as a “gift.”

The message also included Jabbari’s description to what had happened in court where she “shed no tears” and “did not beg” since she trusted the law and the judges to later be disappointed by their verdict.

“In the court of God I will charge the inspectors…and all those that out of ignorance or with their lies wronged me and trampled on my rights and didn’t pay heed to the fact that sometimes what appears as reality is different from it.”

Jabbari was given the death penalty by a court in Tehran in 2009 for killing Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former employee of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence, despite her claims that she has stabbed him once in self-defense and that another man present in the room actually killed him.

“The world allowed me to live for 19 years. That ominous night it was I that should have been killed. My body would have been thrown in some corner of the city, and after a few days, the police would have taken you to the coroner’s office to identify my body and there you would also learn that I had been raped as well. 

The murderer would have never been found since we don’t have their wealth and their power. 

Then you would have continued your life suffering and ashamed, and a few years later you would have died of this suffering and that would have been that.”

The Iranian authorities went ahead with the execution of Jabbari despite an international outcry that has been demanding her release – garnering a petition of more than 242,000 signatures. 

Sarbandi’s family refused to pardon Jabbari or accept blood money, according to court documents.

Jabbari then ended her message with one last wish.

“I wanted to embrace you until I die. I love you,” she said to her mother, who was only granted one hour for her last meeting with her daughter on Friday.

Dear Sholeh, today I learned that it is now my turn to face Qisas (the Iranian regime's law of retribution).

 I am hurt as to why you did not let me know yourself that I have reached the last page of the book of my life.

 Don’t you think that I should know? You know how ashamed I am that you are sad. Why did you not take the chance for me to kiss your hand and that of dad?

The world allowed me to live for 19 years. That ominous night it was I that should have been killed. 

My body would have been thrown in some corner of the city, and after a few days, the police would have taken you to the coroner’s office to identify my body and there you would also learn that I had been raped as well. 

The murderer would have never been found since we don’t have their wealth and their power. Then you would have continued your life suffering and ashamed, and a few years later you would have died of this suffering and that would have been that.

However, with that cursed blow the story changed. My body was not thrown aside, but into the grave of Evin Prison and its solitary wards, and now the grave-like prison of Shahr-e Ray. 

But give in to the fate and don’t complain. You know better that death is not the end of life.

You taught me that one comes to this world to gain an experience and learn a lesson and with each birth a responsibility is put on one’s shoulder. I learned that sometimes one has to fight.

 I do remember when you told me a story from Nietzsche, the philosopher, when he protested to a carriage man who was flogging his horse, but the flogger hit the lash on his head and face…(not audiable) and he taught us that for creating a value one should persevere even if one dies.
