Iranian Militias Marry, Rape Virgin Prisoners Before Executions

Members of Iran's feared Basij militia forcibly marry female virgin prisoners the night before scheduled executions, raping their new "wives" and making it religiously acceptable to execute them, a member of the paramilitary group says.

He told the Jerusalem Post that at age 18 he was "given the 'honor' to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death."

In the Islamic Republic of Iran it is illegal to execute a woman if she is a virgin. So the government arranges wedding ceremonies to be conducted the night before executions, and prisoners are forced to have sexual intercourse with a guard.

Raped by her new husband, a fermale prisoner is now fit to be put to death.

Some female prisoners are drugged with sleeping pills to make them docile.

"I remember hearing them cry and scream after the rape was over," said the militiaman. "I will never forget how this one girl clawed at her face and neck with her finger nails afterwards. She had deep scratches all over her."
