    Pardon

    BBC News - #BBCtrending: Iran execution stopped at the last minute

    A series of dramatic images of a public execution in Iran, which was stopped at the last minute, are being widely shared and discussed in the country.

    First the empty chair, then the crowd of assembled onlookers, and the noose hanging listlessly. The accused man, Balal, is hauled out, blindfolded, screaming for his life. As he stands beside the noose, the victim's mother slaps him on the cheek. Then she pardons him, sparing his life. Seven years earlier, Balal had killed the woman's son Abdollah in a fight. They were both 17 at the time.
    Class.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.
