Save WOMEN from stoning in Iran
Sign Now
Islamic courts in Iran recently sentenced two yang women to stoning for adultery.
One identified, Shamama (Malek) Qorbani, borne in Naqadeh, now is in prison of Uromiyeh. She was condemned to stoning for adultery.
Other one is Kobra Najjar, born in Tabriz and is in prison of Tabriz.
Stoning is execution by torture, an act of sheer barbarism and a hideous crime against humanity. Stoning is practiced by Islamic governments and groups imposing the Islamic Sharia law.
Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, adultery by a married woman is punishable by stoning but only for women. The law is very specific about the manner of execution and types of stones which should be used. Article 102 states that women will be buried up to their breasts for the purpose of execution by stoning.
Such savagery and barbarism must not be tolerated. Stopping stoning must be a priority for all humanitarian organizations and individuals throughout the world. We must put an end to this barbaric act once and for all.
We urge the United Nations, European Union, and other international bodies to take strong actions against Islamic Republic of Iran for inhumane and illegal treatment of the Iranian. We demand that:
Immediate abolition of stoning and all other forms of punishment for extra-marital relations and all other Shari'ah laws.
We support the efforts of the International Committee against Stoning for ending stoning in Iran. We call upon all to do the same.
Immediate release of all those imprisoned for extra-marital relations.
