NCRI – The mullahs’ regime has sentenced a woman, Ashraf Kalhori, to death by stoning, according to reports received.
Her attorney said, "In a single year, there had been five stoning sentences handed down against women" by the mullahs’ regime.
The NCRI’s Women’s Committee Chair Ms. Sarvnaz Chitsaz said, "Stoning to death is an inhuman and un-Islamic punishment which is the product of the misogynistic and fundamentalist regime in Iran. As a result of revelations by the Iranian resistance and pressure applied on the regime by the international community over the years, the mullahs’ regime had refrained from such edicts. With Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s ascension to power and the realization of the ineffectiveness of the appeasement policy, however, the misogynistic mullahs have gone back to the same inhuman methods."
