Iranian Woman May Be Stoned To Death Soon

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, an Iranian woman who has been sentenced to death for adultery, may be stoned to death soon due to the end of Ramadan. Ashtiani was convicted in 2006 for having affairs with two men after her husband was murdered. Aside from her pending death sentence, Ashtiani was lashed 99 times last week due to a photograph that ran in a British newspaper that was mistakenly identified as her. Her crime was not wearing a proper head covering in public.
