Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani

Campaign for Iranian woman facing death by stoning

The Guardian: A 43-year-old Iranian woman is facing death by stoning unless an international campaign launched by her children forces the authorities to quash what her lawyer calls a bogus conviction. In a case that highlights the growing use of the death penalty in a country that has already executed more than 100 people this year, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani was convicted in May 2006 of conducting an "illicit relationship outside marriage." Sakineh already endured a sentence of 99 lashes, but her case was re-opened when a court in Tabriz suspected her of murdering her husband. She was acquitted, but the adultery charge was reviewed and a death penalty handed down on the basis of "judge's knowledge" – a loophole that allows for subjective judicial rulings where no conclusive evidence is present >>>

Is there a website to go to so we can sign petitions?  How can we take longterm actions to stop stoning in Iran all together?

This is the true Islam

by Ferfereh on Mon Jul 05, 2010 02:09 PM PDT

In 1400 years Islam has brought nothing else then torturing, killing, raping, plundering to our country and to conquer this cancer the only way is to get knowledge about Islam and its history, how it came to our country (The Tabari History books). Remember, to fight an ideology you need knowledge.

Thank you, IC, for posting the video and being part of the campaign of saving this lady's life.......

   I pray that the stoning will never be carried out........or IRI won't find anyone to carry out the stoning successfully....or this lady can survive the process!

islam in action. I do believe that we need a 21st Century Crusading army to:
1) Remove islamic people from our lands;
2) Invade countries infested by muslims, and lastly
3) Impose our military men to rule them so that they cannot continue their savage and barbaric way of life.
Cheers now :-)

Another female victim of the Barbaric Islamist regime of Iran

by fooladi on Mon Jul 05, 2010 12:17 PM PDT

Thanks for publicizing her plight. No one, no matter what the crime, deserves this. Only a sick society can stand bye and let such barbarity happen right in front of it's eyes.
