In Banaduk, in Dih- Bala, in Farashah, in Abbas- Abad, in Hanza, in Ardikan, in Dawlat- Abad and in Hamadan crimes of similar nature were committed, an outstanding case being that of a highly respected and courageous woman, named Fatimih- Bagum, who was ignominiously dragged from her house, her veil was torn from her head, her throat cut across, her belly ripped open; and having been beaten by the savage crowd with every weapon they could lay hands on, she was finally suspended from a tree and delivered to the flames.
