Heard this disturbing news report on the radio this morning. Now I detest the NWO Middle East agenda as much as the next person and I appreciate cultural differences but this sickens me. This will not do Iran any favours when the west uses this for propaganda.
Women Protest Stoning To Death of Iranian
Turkish women organizations support signature campaign for Iranian Melek Ghorbany who was sentenced last month to be "publicly stoned to death" and will gather at Iranian consulate in Istanbul this Saturday to read out press statement.
BIA News Center 14/07/2006 Ayse DURUKAN BİA (Istanbul) - Turkish women organizations have joined in the growing international campaign for Iranian woman prisoner Melek Ghorbany who was sentenced by a court in her country last month to be publicly stoned to death according to Islamic Shariah law.
Ghorbany was sentenced to death on June 28, by a court in the northwest Iranian city of Urmia after being found guilty of committing "adultery."
Representatives of women organizations in Istanbul will meet in front of the Iranian consulate building this Saturday to read out a press statement expected to condemn recm, the practice of public stoning.
A statement made in advance of the event said the organizations regarded public stoning as �a crime against humanity� and that they would effort for the Iranian regime to end this form of punishment.
The organizations will also call on all other punishments passed under Islamic Shariah law to be abolished in Iran and everyone sentenced to stoning to death, including Gharbany herself, to be released.
The campaign to stop the execution of Ghorbany was originally launched a week ago by her American lawyer Lily Mazahery who has so far collected nearly 2,000 signatures and is hoping to collect far more.
Iran's Penal Code not only allows for a married woman found guilty of adultery to be stoned to death but also describes how the stoning should be conducted and with what kind of stones.
Women to be stoned have their hands tied behind their back and are covered from head to toe in winding sheets before being placed seated in a pit. The pit is then filled up to their chest with dirt and the dirt is tamped down before the stoning begins.
In the public stoning of men, they are buried only to the hips before the stoning commences. (AD/TK/II/YE)
