Iran Israel War on Social Media: Amidst the scenes of devastation seen in Iran from Israel, stories of atrocities by the government and courts are also coming to the fore on social media. One such case is of 16-year-old girl Atefeh Sahaleh, who was hanged.

Israel's attack on Iran for the seventh consecutive day has shaken major cities including Tehran. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has gone into hiding in a bunker. Top military commanders have been killed. Meanwhile, there is a discussion on social media about Iran's 16-year-old girl Atefeh. Atefeh was hanged on charges of having illicit sexual relations with a boy.  

The case of Atefeh Saleh being crucified shook the whole world. There were protests in many places in Iran. Saleh's mother died in a road accident and due to this, her father became a drug addict. Sahaleh spent her time doing household chores at her grandparents' house. The very beautiful Sahaleh was accused of having illicit sex with a young man. 

According to the BBC report, Iran's moral police, which handles such cases, arrested her. A case was filed against her in the fundamentalist government and court. False documents were fabricated and she was shown as a 22-year-old adult, because a minor could not be hanged. The higher court also approved Sahaleh's hanging and one day she was given the death sentence. 

According to the report, when Sahaleh was 13 years old, she was found alone with a boy in a car for the first time. She was sentenced to 100 lashes along with jail. In the jail, the security guard allegedly tortured and raped her. When she came out of the jail groaning in pain, she narrated a painful story. She was again arrested in May 2003 in connection with sexual crimes and sent back to jail. It is said that in front of Judge Haji Rezai, Sahaleh admitted that a 51-year-old former officer of the Revolutionary Guards raped her for several years. During the hearing in the court, Sahaleh took off her hijab and threw a shoe at the judge. The case against her reached the Supreme Court and then she was given death penalty for her alleged confession.
