Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, Iranian Mother, could be put to death at any moment
August 9: Fate of Sakineh to be handed down this week – hanging likely; President Lula’s offer of amnesty flatly refused by Iranian leadership.
Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43 year old mother of two, was convicted in May 2006 of having an “illicit relationship” with two men and received 99 lashes as her sentence. Despite already having been punished, she has now been further convicted of “adultery” and she and sentenced to death by stoning.
She is currently being held on death row in Tabriz Prison, north-west Iran, and faces imminent execution. Around July 7th , following international protests, officials in Tabriz asked the head of Iran’s judiciary to agree that her sentence of stoning to death be converted to execution by hanging.
On 10 July, the head of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights said that her case would be reviewed, although he affirmed that Iranian law permits execution by stoning.
On 14 July Sajjad Qaderzadeh, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani’s son, was summoned to Tabriz’s Central Prison, and is believed to have been questioned by Ministry of Intelligence officials who possibly threatened him not to give further interviews about his mother’s case.
It is clear Sakineh remains ingrave risk… PLEASE sign this petition which calls on the Iranian authorities to clarify her current legal status, demands that the authorities enact legislation that bans stoning as a legal punishment, and eliminates other forms of the death penalty for “adultery” such as fogging or imprisonment.

ما امضا کنندگان زیر به رویۀ ناعادلانه ای که در مورد سکینه آشتیانی اعمال شده است واقفیم.
ما خواهان آزادی فوری سکینه آشتیانی هستیم.
ما همچنین خواهان لغو مجازات سنگسار در ایران هستیم. مجازاتی که تمامی تعاریف از حقوق بشر را نفی می کند.
بر مبنای اینکه ایران امضا کننده اعلامیۀ جهانی حقوق بشر و میثاق های مربوطه می باشد، از آیت الله خامنه ای رهبر ایران می خواهیم که مسئولیت تعهدات خود را بعهده گرفته و برای رهایی این زن که بطور ناعادلانه ای مجازات می شود، اقدام کند. ما همچنین خواهان پایان دادن فوری به مجازات سنگسار هستیم. صرفنظر از تفاوت در باورهای مذهبی یا سیاسی، ایران می بایست همراه با سایر ملل در بوجود آوردن جهانی مشارکت کند که در آن حقوق پایه ای بشر و اصول اولیه انسانیت غلبه داشته باشد.
سنگسار عملی وحشیانه است و می بایست متوقف شود.
