No mercy for Iranian minors
On Jan 3, 18 yr old Nazanin was sentenced to death after she is to said to have admitted stabbing to death one of three men who attempted to rape her and 16 yr old niece in a park in Karaj in March 2005.She was 17 at the time.
Her sentece , as with all death sentences, is subject to review by the Court of Appeal and-if upheld-to confirmation by the supreme Court.
According to reports in the Iranian newspaper E'temaad,Nazanin told the court that three men had approached her and her niece ,forced them to the ground and tried to rape them.Seeking to defend her niece and herself,Nazanin stabbed one man in the hand with a knife that she possessed and then , when the men continued to pursue them,stabbed another of the men in the chest.
She reportedly told the court:"I wanted to defend myself and my niece.I did not want to kill that boy.At the heat of the moment i did not know what to do because no one came to our help."
i'm kinda cursed.....
at this very hour , i should be in camp
but i'm not becoz i'm on mc
oh boy am i glad to be at home.........
there's nothing to do at home realli since i can't go out
but it beats the hell out of being in camp
i sprained my ankle again
this time it's real bad
my right foot looks like ,putting it crudely,a swollen chunk of meat
everybody around me starts gg "wat?!!?? u injured yaself again?!!"
i can't believe i got myself injured again
especially since a month ago, i had a slight muscle tear in my left thigh
and a few mnths ago , i injured my knee and alot of mnths ago , i injured tt and even a further few mnths ago, i got another recurring injury
i simply can't have enough of injuries
it seems to be a curse on mi
ppl keep telling me to take calcium by drinking milk
i admit, i dread milk
and i dun think lacking calcium is the problem realli, becoz i'm having ligament tear, muscle problem not fracture
and no, i wasn't very garang this time when playing sports or during physical training
take this latest incident for example, i was playing 3 on 3 at the basketball court
i noe my left leg still haven't fully recover (oh, u mean i shouldn't be playing at all right?hai)so i relax relax let my teammates run the show while i sort of make up the numbers, contributing abit here and there
i didn't chiong for every ball, i didn't jump hard for the rebound i didn't anything
and yet that one suay moment still arrive
i cut inside for a shot and as i land from the jumpshot ,my right foot landed on mun boon's foot and my ankle first twisted inwards then outwards
with a cry of sheer agony , i collapsed onto the ground , grasping my ankle and struggling mentally to block out the pain
n i rather not talk about my mother's reaction when i get home
because coming home limping and with my some part of the body bandaged is becoming almost like a routine
