Adultery: Iranian woman to receive 99 lashes



A demonstrator holds a picture of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani at a protest in front of the Iranian Embassy in Rome earlier this month.
An Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery now faces being whipped for indecency, her son said.

Iranian authorities sentenced Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani to 99 lashes after the Times published a picture purportedly of her without a headscarf, the British Broadcasting Corporation reports.

The Times later published a correction, saying the photograph was of a different Iranian woman.

After an international outcry, Iranian officials temporarily halted Ashtiani’s stoning sentence in July.

There are fears that the death sentence could still be carried out by hanging.

Ashtiani’s son had given several interviews saying he was told of the new sentence of 99 lashes by people who were recently released from the prison in Tabriz where his mother is being held.

On August 28, the Times published a picture it said was of Ashtiani that it had obtained from one of her lawyers.

The lawyer, Mohammad Mostafei, who has fled Iran, said he received the picture from her son, Sajad Ghaderzadeh - a claim Ghaderzadeh denies.

Ghaderzadeh said the new sentence was “an excuse to increase (the authorities’) harassment of our mother.”

In an open letter, he said his mother had been sentenced to receive 99 lashes “on false charges of spreading corruption and indecency by disseminating this picture of a woman presumed to be her without hijab.”

He said he did not believe the sentence had been carried out but that her family and lawyer had not been allowed to visit her for two weeks and she had not been allowed to use a telephone.

Ghaderzadeh said the family was appealing against the sentence.

In May 2006, a criminal court in East Azerbaijan province found Ashtiani guilty of having had an “illicit relationship” with two men following the death of her husband. She was given 99 lashes.

But that September, during the trial of a man accused of murdering her husband, another court reopened an adultery case based on events that allegedly took place before her husband died.

He was told, he was told by others, Now how are we sure he was really told anything, as I believe the family are Just trying to make this as controversial as possible, and again freaks and extremist like Toba do not know the Law of Iran and how it is applied, adultery I have come to understand is Kosher(permitted) in Christendom, but we muslims will continue to reject such foolishness as that is why Ba*stards are becoming very common sight in Christendom, since to them the Law has been done away with, well enjoy the bastardom as it last, simply put you break the Law you do the time/pay the price, I only hope their system will do justice. And didn't the bible the wages of sin is death.[/size]

toba:

now barbaric law is very good se? moreso women that are to be treated carefully is now to be lashed?

vedaxcool:

If your Girl friend kills your Mum tell the Law to Treat her carefully eh. I laugh at your Intelligence.

Oba234:

I guess some idiots are still living in the stone age. Why is it always the woman that is being stoned? what about the man in this situation? This babaric laws are always made to restrict women. I love how the bible says "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" useless hypocrites want to stone a woman to death while they are not perfect human beings either.

VALIDATOR:

We must respect the fact that their society seriously frowns at adultery by a woman and do not take it with the levity of the west.
That law operates in that society and everybody must abide by it. It seems most people in the west do not see anything wrong in telling another country how to run it's internal affairs.

I am not in support of stoning to death or the 99 lashes BS but for fork's sake she is f****king aware of the f***king law and she f***king broke it. So,she should face the f***king consequences.

toba:

Thats a c.ra.zy law. I dont think the God the iranians claim to serve is that harsh, telling angels to flog sinners

toba:

Does those law inflict any physical harm to the body like cane or stoning?

toba:

u must be sick in the brain for the above. Is there no law of forgiveness in your quran? if anyone commits an offence against u?

VALIDATOR:

@toba,i can't believe a well read person like you considers only the physical harm. What about the psychological damage done?Whereas it is not about the nature of the punishment.It is about applying a law that works for them.

It is grossly unfortunate that the average Nigerian is very poor at trend analysis and using figures obtained from facts to make deductions. The west whom you worship through their ways of life and religions has much higher divorce rates than Nigeria. They tell you a woman and her husband are equal.The more they push the equality,the more the divorce rates climb.Now it's tending to half of all marriages in the west breaking up.

In the west and other highly individualistic societies,more money=more happiness. But in many other non western styled societies,preserving their heritage gives them more happiness than increase in GDP. Can't we respect that ?

toba:

Dnt let us mix things up. Yes law is law, but most of us including u most times criticizes barbaric acts of purnishment for such little offense. Im one of those that clamour for death penalties for kidnappers&armed robbers, but a theif of N50 Should enjoy such a gravious punishment. Even women should be treated fairly no matter what. In Nigeria, we have ministry of women affairs but no men affairs ministry. Women may be given other punishment, but flogging/stonning imo is bad

Are you Talking of the same god in the Bible that abondon his son and left him shouting "My Lord My Lord, why have thou Forsaken me?", "The same god that left his own? son? to be trialed unjustly and tortured? I expect you to be more reasonable than that, go and explain to us why this same god in the bible allowed his? children? to practice stoning adulterers to death, in addition this same Law Jesus claimed not to come to abolish. In addition the woman is accused of Murder and Adultery together, Followig your sense of justice why would you accept the killing of Jesus(an innocent man) for you to be sin free,[size=25pt] but knowing you as some one that will never answer any criticism of religion rather you rush to engage in senseless insult I DOUBT IT IF YOU CAN PROVIDE ANY REASONABLE ANSWER[/size], BASHY_DEMY WELL DONE CAUSE IT ONLY TAKES A PATIENT MAN TO KEEP UP WITH SOMEONE OF LESSER INTERLECT IN A DEBATE, OVER TO YOU TOBA.[/size]
