Poor girl....Atefah Sahaaleh

Atefeh Rajabi Sahaaleh (1988 - August 15, 2004) was a 16-year-old schoolgirl who was executed in Iran after being sentenced to death by an Iranian religious judge, Haji Rezai, for having committed "acts incompatible with chastity" according to Sharia law. The execution is controversial because of judicial error [1], where the age of the girl was reported in court documents to be 22 years, while it was in fact 16. It was her fourth conviction, but despite these aggravating circumstances, it is believed that she would not been eligible for execution at the age of 16.

What can we learn from this story?
We would care less, because she was not a Christian?
We would care less, because she was not American?
We would care less, because she was a femal?
or perhaps,
We would care less, because she deserves to die...

Is she a human? a kid? an innocent? Why would X let this happen again?
Well.. maybe there is not such thing as X...
Want to share this with believer and nonbeliever to think about it...

Chinese version:
