Iran Frees Woman Sentenced to Death by Stoning
AFP reports:
Iran has freed a woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, her son and her lawyer, a German-based campaign group told AFP Thursday.
"We have got news from Iran that they are free, " Mina Ahadi, spokeswoman for the Anti-Stoning Committee told AFP.
"We are waiting for another confirmation: apparently there will be a programme this evening on (Iranian) television and then we will be 100 percent sure."
Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two, was initially given death sentences by two different courts in the northwestern city of Tabriz in separate trials in 2006.
