hm. I basically took it to mean a gross meting out of justice. Mona was executed for teaching the Baha'i faith to children, but she willingly went last so that those executed ahead of her wouldn't have to wait so long to die. (She was also tortured) The girl of whom they speak in the article was on death-row for 2 years before she was bought off with what they call "blood money" and in the meantime she attempted suicide a few times. I mean, her life is ruined already and people will forever whisper about her. Because she killed her would-be rapist. yeah, I guess the details of each case can be lost in the basic outrage of the act of capital punishment.
