Reyhaneh Jabbari (Persian: ریحانه جباری; c. 1988 – 25 October 2014) was a woman convicted of murdering Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former agent of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence[1][2][3] in Iran.

In 2007, Sarbandi met Jabbari, who was an interior decorator, in a cafe and convinced her to visit his office to discuss a business deal.

[citation needed] The United Nations Human Rights Rapporteur in Iran, Ahmed Shaheed, said that Jabbari was hired by Sarbandi to redesign his office and took her to an apartment where she was sexually abused by him.

Sarbandi's family insisted that it was premeditated murder as Jabbari confessed to buying a knife two days before the killing.

[10][11] There were campaigns launched on social media to halt her execution, but Tasnim reported that Jabbari's relatives failed to gain consent for a reprieve from the victim's family.
