Fears TV confession can expedite execution

Fears TV confession can expedite execution
(Translation by Google)

Human Rights Watch fears the execution if Iranian Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani is imminent.

The reason for concern is the TV confession to the doomed Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani.

Human rights organization parts thus concern to Ashtianis lawyer, Mohammad Mostafaei, who is in exile in Norway.

Mostafei Thursday said that such televised confessions used by the Iranian authorities to justify executions.

Wednesday this week sent the Iranian television a 'interview' with the Ashtiani, where she confesses both adultery and complicity in the murder of her husband. The woman is wearing the full chador garment, and it is therefore impossible to determine her identity with certainty.

According to 43 years old Ashtianis second lawyer, Houtan Kian, told Human Rights Watch that Iran's Supreme Court will pronounce the final verdict on the case within a few days.

  1. What an absurd theater!

    Firstly: Why does it matter whether or not Sakineh was guilty of what? Infidelity?? Since when, and where else in the Islamic countries are you going to find death penalty for infidelity?

    Secondly: No one knows whoever was under that chador garment? Could be anyone!

    The Iranian government consider their own people to be retards! Who in the world would be convinced by this sick show anyway??

    BTW: Where is the United Nations in this picture?
