NCRI – A 30-year-old women prisoner identified as Gilan Mohammadi and an Afghan national, Gholamali Eskandari, are sentenced to death by stoning. Both are awaiting their sentences to be carried out in Isfahan prison central Iran.
Despite much smoke screening by the mullahs' judiciary last month regarding the commuting of all such rulings, there has not been any change made in these two cases.
In July 2007, the Iranian regime caused international outrage when Jafar Kiani was stoned to death in the northwestern city of Qazvin.
A man and a woman — Abbas H. and Mahbubeh A. — were also stoned to death in May 2006 in the northeastern city of Mashhad, although their execution has never been officially confirmed.
On February 4, the mullahs' Supreme Court upheld the death sentence by stoning of two sisters Zohreh (27) and Azar (28) Kabiri-Neyat in the notorious Gohardasht (Rajaishahr) prison in Karaj some 40 km west of the capital Tehran.
Similarly, in the winter of 2007, the death sentence by stoning of a 49-year-old man named Abdullah Farivar was upheld by the Supreme Court in the northern city of Sari. The man has two children.
