16 year old Mona together with 9 other Bahai women were executed by the Islamic regime in Iran for attending a Bahai faith class in 1983. Because her youth and conspicuous innocence became a symbol of the group in prison, she was lashed on the soles of her feet with a cable and forced to walk on bleeding feet. On the day of execution she asked to be last to be executed so she can pray for others. All she had to do to avoid execution was to denounce her faith but she refused and instead when her turn, she kissed the rope and put it on her own neck. Here is music video made for her by Canadian musician Doug Cameron.
