- Reyhaneh Jabbari was to be hanged tomorrow morning at a prison
- She was found guilty of murdering an Iranian intelligence operative
- Her mother recounted her final goodbye to 26-year-old daughter
- She said: 'There is a car waiting outside to take me for the execution'
- However, Amnesty International said the postponement was just for 10 days
In 2007 the former decorator stabbed Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former employee of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence, who she claims lured her to his house with a promise of work and tried to sexually assault her.
Jabbari said she acted in self defence, but Iran's Supreme Court upheld the death sentence.
Reyhaneh Jabbari handcuffed at police headquarters in Tehran was set be hanged tomorrow morning after seven years in prison. She killed a man (former intelligence official in 2007) who was trying to rape her. Amnesty International called the investigation and trial 'deeply flawed'
Her mother, Shole Paravan, confirmed the execution had been postponed. Today she and other supporters of Jabbari went to Rajaiy Shahr Prison, about 20 miles west of Tehran, to protest the pending execution.
Amnesty International said the execution has only been delayed for 10 days.
Her case has prompted an international outcry, with the United States and European Union demanding her sentence be repealed.
The semi-official Mehr News said a 10-day deadline issued for the woman to try to win forgiveness from the victim's relatives was due to expire on Wednesday morning.
However, Justice Minister Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi said on Monday he hoped "for a good ending to the case".
"We have issued a deadline and God willing we hope forgiveness will be granted and there will be a good ending to the case," he was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA.
