BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Current Events Recent news about stoning!

A newspaper in Iran reported that a man executed by stoning in city of Ghazwin in the west of Iran last Thursday. The news is in Persian language so I guess it's useless to link. I think it's the first time a man executed by stoning, I thought this dead penalty was just for women.

That is barbarism.

That must be a painful way to die. Could you give us more details about the case?

Very painful.

thanks for your compassion. Pardon I had to write a brief about the story.

A married man and a married woman fall in love 13 years ago and they escaped together to North of Iran and married illegally there. They arrested around 10 years ago whereas they had one our two children. Court didn't accept their marriage and sentenced them for stoning penalty. The man died and the woman is waiting for her time. Our supreme court tried several times to stop the judge but seems another power in Iran love to show such barbarian action from Iran! I heard that people there didn't participate on such action and local court hired a handful (6 person reported) of moral police for that.
Yeah it's shameful and horrible.

terrible.
