From Newsweek by Ravi Somaiya According to Amnesty International, the Iranian penal code specifies that "stones are large enough to cause pain, but not so large as to kill the victim immediately." Article 102 of the Penal Code states that men should be buried up to their waists and women up to their breasts for the purpose of execution by stoning. Article 104 states, with reference to the penalty for adultery, that the stones used should "not be large enough to kill the person by one or two strikes; nor should they be so small that they could not be defined as stones." Iran executed 388 people last year, mostly by hanging, leaving it second only to China in the number of people put to death, according to Amnesty International. READ IN FULL

I want to know who made these supposedly men judge, juror and exercussioner. If that's they case why do we pray to God. They pray to Allah, same God just different name. I just don't understand why these men have to kill these women they are human just as I am. That's the difference between Americans and other nationalities. I thank God for The United States. I would kill them before they got me. Damn killing in the name of honour. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

 Dedicated to Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani by Betsy SeetonI first became aware that people are still being stoned to death in current times when the story about Sakineh made world headlines. She is still fighting for her life. I dedicate this blog to her and the many people around the world facing death by stoning, and to those who have already died by this barbaric method. Archives
