Iran has executed 26-year-old Reyhaneh Jabbari, who reportedly killed the man that repeatedly attempted to rape her, despite protest by rights activists for her release.

She was hanged on Friday, October 24, 2014 ending her seven-year jail life awaiting execution.

According to IBTimes, Jabbari was arrested in 2007 for stabbing an officer who repeatedly tried to sexually assault her.

Her mother was informed of her daughter’s impending execution as she met Jabbari in the prison for nearly an hour on the day before she was executed.

Although the place where she was hanged was not publicised, more than one hundred people including family members stood outside the Gohardasht prison where she was kept in Karaj city, according to local reports.

Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa with the Amnesty International, had earlier called for intervention into her case in a statement which urged Iranian authorities to stop the execution.
