Shahla Jahed (1969 – 1 December 2010) was an Iranian woman who was sentenced to death in June 2004 for murdering Laleh Saharkhizan, the wife of her boyfriend (under a temporary marriage) on October 9, 2002.[1] Jahed had been living with Iranian footballer Nasser Mohammadkhani[2] becoming his mistress in a temporary marriage which is allowed under Iranian law. International human rights groups have campaigned for her release since she was jailed more than eight years ago.[3] One day before the execution Amnesty International made a last-minute appeal for the sentence to be halted, saying Jahed had not received a fair trial. Mohammadkhani first faced charges of adultery which were later dropped,[2] although he was sentenced to 74 lashes for drug-taking after the court heard he had smoked opium with Jahed.[1]The Iranian courts halted the execution of Shahla Jahed when the case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani became public[citation needed].
Jahed was executed on December 1, 2010 at 5am local time at the Evin prison, north of Tehran.[2][3] The victim's son was allowed to pull the stool from under her feet.
