Thank you for spreading the word.......it seems to me that IRI wants to prevent future uprisings by using harsh punishment....IRI does not want the world to know the discontent inside Iran.......I hope there will be a new round of campaign to save this lady's life...just like the world-wide campaign which saved Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani's life.

Thank you for posting this outrageous development.
