Iran: Woman sentenced to death by stoning

A man and a woman were sentenced to stoning to death on Friday by a criminal court in Lorestan Province, western Iran. The woman is identified as S.M. (State-run Kashan website – February 3, 2017)

The verdict was issued for a video made public showing the illicit relationship between a clergy and a woman in Gerab, Koohdasht, also west of Iran.

The complainant for this case is the woman’s husband, demanding maximum punishment for his wife and her friend.

The stoning sentence is issued despite the international community frequently calling on Iranian authorities to abolish such ruling.
