The stoning of a mother of two children in Iran for alleged adultery (PI reported) has been suspended for now. In this, the Muhamaddin power holders in Iran have reacted to worldwide horror that developed after the children of the persecuted woman had publicly begged for her life.

The Rheinische Post reports:

The judgment against Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani (43) will not be handed down for now, the responsible justice authorities stated on Saturday evening, according to a report of the official Iranian news agency IRNA.

Justice could, however, decide otherwise and will not allow itself to be influenced by international criticism, it said in the report. The deat sentence against the mother of two had caused outrage in the West.

Back on Friday, the General Secretary of the Iranian Human Rights Council, Mohammad Jawad Larijani announced an examination of the case.

Numerous human rights organizations and politicians in Europe and America are demanding that the Iranian government stop the stoning, among them the British Minister of Foreign Affairs. Many prominent individuals are also getting loudly involved for the release of the Iranian woman, among them actors Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Robert Redford and Lindsay Lohan, as the newspaper “The Times” reported.

Ashtiani was sentenced for adultery in 2006, even though she had retracted an admission pertinent to the case because it had been made under duress.

However, Mrs. Ashtiani is unfortunately not saved yet. It is just as likely that the stoning will be carried out just as soon as public interest in the world has turned again to other topics, as it is that the Iranian Muslims could convert the execution into that no less gruesome slow strangulation on a building crane, which is constantly incorrectly equated in the West with a hanging. It depends on keeping the protest alive and keeping the minds of the German politicians on their duty of getting involved for the life of this threatened mother.

Please use portals like Abgeordnetenwatch (Representative Watch) or the E-mail address of your representative in the Bundestag, and publically address representatives and agents of Islam in Germany as to what concrete measures these individuals are taking for the rescue of the Iranian woman.
