"Iranian housewife Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani still awaits execution for the crime of adultery. She has been in prison for four years and was to be publicly stoned in accordance with Islamic law. When her lawyer raised hell on an Internet blog about her pending death an international cry was raised. Iranian mullahs then caved to pressure and said they wouldn’t have her stoned but she would still be executed, perhaps by beheading.
Prisoners like Mrs. Ashtiani, who is 43, has two children, and who has denied the adultery charge, are buried to their chest or neck and then pelted with large stones by a crowd of volunteers while the prisoner’s family is forced to watch the gruesome killing."
