Demoner kallade gudsmän

Enligt sharia-lagen: För att bevisa att hon blivit våldtagen, måste en kvinna presentera fyra manliga vittnen I rätten. Om hon inte kan bevisa att hon blivit våldtagen, döms hon för utomäktenskapligt sex och straffas för detta.

Om det är någon som har invändningar mot att tvåbarnsmamman Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani 43, ska stenas till döds i Iran, anklagad för sex utanför äktenskapet (hon är änka) så kan du ju skicka några rader till consular@iran.se (Fler e-postadresser följer nedan.) Hon har redan fått 99 rapp med en flodhästhudspiska. Det är sådant som får det att gå i byxorna på de heliga gudsmännen.

Aftonbladet:"Men nu hävdar människorättsgruppen Internationella kommittén mot stening att fängelset i Tabriz dömt Sakineh till ytterligare ett straff: 99 piskrapp.

Det för att hon uppmanat till oanständigt beteende då hon "spridit" en bild av sig själv utan slöja.
Bilden fick stor uppmärksamhet när den publicerades i brittiska The Times 28 augusti.
Det visade sig senare att bilden föreställde en annan kvinna och The Times bad om ursäkt för den felaktiga publiceringen."

During this trial, she retracted the ”confession” she supposedly made during pre-trial interrogation, alleging that she had confessed under duress, and declared her innocence. Two of the five judges found her not guilty, pointing to the lack of evidentiary proof in the case against her, and noting that she had already suffered 99 lashes due to her previous sentencing. Even though double jeopardy is illegal in Iran, the other three judges, including the presiding judge, found Mohammadi-Ashtiani guilty on the basis of the ”judge’s knowledge” or ”gut-feeling”, a provision in Iranian law that allows judges to make their own subjective and arbitrary rulings even in the absence of clear or conclusive evidence. Mohammadi-Ashtiani was sentenced to death by stoning on 10 September 2006.

A mother of two young children, Mohammadi-Ashtiani had her death sentence confirmed by the Supreme Court on 27 May 2007. She has been held since 2005. Her lawyer has pleaded with the Head of the Judiciary, Head of the Provincial Judiciary and members of the Amnesty and Clemency Body to commute Mohammadi-Ashtiani’s sentence to one that enables her to return to her life and children. His plea has been denied twice. In previous cases, Ayatollah Shahroudi, the former Head of the Judiciary in Iran, has commuted stoning sentences with the approval of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
