CRUEL END Iranian woman who suffered fatal heart attack on the way to gallows after watching 16 others executed was hanged anyway
A WOMAN waiting to be executed suffered a fatal heart attack as she watched 16 men die before her – but her body was hanged anyway.
Zahra Ismaili was convicted of the murder of her husband Alireza Zamani in Iran and sentenced to be hanged at Rajai Shahr Prison.
The mother-of-two was due to be executed at the notoriously harsh jail, around 20 miles from the capital Tehran.
But according to her lawyer Omid Moradi as she was waiting for the gallows, she was made to watch the men being hanged before her and suffered a heart attack.
He said “they hanged her lifeless body” so that her husband’s mother could exercise her right to kick away the chair from under her.
Mr Moradi said that Ms Ismaili’s death certificate stated that “cardiac arrest” was the cause of death.
