Approval of Delara's Death Sentence in Distinction Branch of the Supreme Court
Sources familiar with Delara's case report that Delara's death sentence has been approved by the branch of Iran's Supreme Court that was reviewing the order.
Delara Darabi, accused of murder, has spent the past 3 years in prison. Recent beatings in prison have left her with a broken arm and she is not feeling well.
Yesterday, Delara's father filed a letter with the head of the judiciary, seeking a transfer of prison for his daughter. In this letter, Delara's father states: "Delara is in dire condition and is suffering greatly. She is only accused. We have reasons to show that she is not a murderer. However, even if she were guilty, she has a basic right to be treated fairly in prison, not to have her arm broken. If Delara is a murderer, she should be executed once, not a thousand times. Yet, in Rasht prison, she is executed a thousand times a day. I need your help to save my daughter."
In an discussion with Mino Hemati of Rahai-Zan TV, Abdolsamad Khoramshahi, Delara's defense counsel stated today that his objection to Distinction Branch's decision was rejected today. Accordingly, the only person who can commute this sentence is the head of the judiciary, Ayatollah Shahroudi. By finding fault in the case, he can issue a new trial. He can also commute Delara's death sentence in its entirety.

تاييد حكم اعدام دلارا در شعبه تشخيص
يك منبع اگاه خبر داد حكم اعدام دلارا دارابي تاييد شده است و به زودي اين حكم به وكيلش ابلاغ خواهد شد
دلارا دارابي دختر متهم به قتل كه 3 سال است در زندان به سر مي برد به خاطر شدت كتك هاي كه خورده است دستش شكسته و حال خوبي ندارد . اين در حاليست كه پدر دلارا ديروز با راسال نامه به ريس قوه قضاييه خواستار انتقال دخترش به زنداني در رشت شد .وي در اين نامه اورده است وضعيت دلارا بسيار بد است و به ششدت ارز شرايطش رنج مي برد . او فقط يك متهم است و ما دلايلي داريم كه نشان مي دهد دخترم قاتل نيست . حتي اگر مجرم هم باشد اين حق مسلم اوست كه در زندان از حقوق اوليه شهروند ي برخوردار با شد نه اينكه دست او را بشكنند . اگر دلارا قاتل است بايد يك با او را اعدام كنند نه هزار بار اما در زندان رشت روزي هزار با ر دخترم را اعدام مي كنند . من براي نجات جان دخترم از شما كمك مي خواهم .
به گزارش خبر نگار ما با تاييد حكم اعدام دلارا در شعبه تشخيص ديوان عالي كشور اكنون تنها مرجعي كه مي تواند حكم را نقض كند رييس قوه قضاييه است. وي مي تواند در صورت پيدا كردن ايرادي در پرونده دستور رسيدگي مجدد ان را صادر كند .
