Two Iranian women have been sentenced to death in the past week, one by stoning. According to a Women's Forum Against Fundamentalism in Iran (WFAFI) press release in Iran 14 women currently face execution by stoning in Iran, a punishment faced only by those accused of adultery.
According to Agence France Presse, Afsaneh R. and a man called Reza have been charged with adultery and with murder in the death of Afsaneh's husband. Afsaneh was sentenced to death under Iranian law, but since Reza is married, he was pardoned from execution and instead received 15 years in prison for murder and 100 lashes for adultery, according to the Associated Press.
The second death sentence involves a pregnant woman and her husband who have both been sentenced to execution under charges of drug trafficking. According to WFAFI, the couple has no criminal record, come from underprivileged backgrounds and do not have legal counsel.

What's your point? Your religion is better than theirs?
ReplyDeleteStoning is a valid form of punishment in YOUR holy book too, dude.
Just because we kill people with a needle instead of a stone doesn't make us any better.
It looks like one of the Plundertards, Joseph, from that socialist loving lefty trash bin Plundercrap has stopped by.
ReplyDeleteJoseph I see you are still set on attacking any form of Christianity. But that was not the intent of the post tweedle dick.
My point is... Three people are being stoned to death. If you would have took the time to read the article you would see that they had NO legal counsel, no criminal record and came from a poor upbringing. (Three things that YOU guys use to free REAL criminals in the US)
The intent of the post is to point out the LACK of due process, right to a fair trial & justice in Iran.
Joseph only a complete moron would claim we are no better than Iran. To compare stoning with lethal injection even broadcasts your ignorance louder!
Joseph...you are a D-bag.
ReplyDeleteI wonder when Obama is going to have Akmandinnerjihadist to the white house? I hope Obama can make the iranians like us again since bad George Bush caused Ak-nut-job and so many others to hate us.
DF - LOL Joseph and his merry band of Plunderwads are all pretty much the same.
ReplyDeleteI believe Iranian President Imachickenhead told Obama to take the carrot he offered and stick up his ass!
So much for everyone falling back in live with the USA when Omoron got elected!
