New Documents from Tabriz and Tehran Courts on Sakineh Ashtaiani’s Case
PR No. 37, August 7, 2010
Also following: Open Letter by Houtan Kia, one of Sakineh’s Lawyers, to Human Rights Authorities
It was three ago that I was acquainted with Sakineh Ashtian’s case, and the likelihood of her stoning sentence being carried out, through her children’s telephone call to me at International Committee Against Stoning (ICAS). Sakineh had then been sentenced to stoning by the Province Court of Tabriz (capital city of Eastern Azerbaijan) for ‘adultery’. The sentence had subsequently been confirmed by the Supreme Court in Tehran. At this point her children had decided to resort to ICAS, determined to save their mother’s life.
