Iran has signalled for the first time that it may spare the life of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the Iranian woman whose sentence of death by stoning for adultery has sparked an international outcry.
Mohammad Javad Larijani, a top adviser to the Iranian supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and the current secretary general of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights told Press TV: “Iran’s Council of Human Rights has helped a lot to reduce her sentence and we think there is a good chance that her life could be saved.”
