New hope for Sakineh "Condemnation may be broken"

TEHRAN - The sentence of stoning for Sakineh Ashtiani-Mohammadi, the Iranian woman whose death sentence has mobilized the international community, could be undone. He said a "high source" of the Iranian Ministry of Justice Iranian Fars agency, quoted by Agence France Presse. "Everything is possible," said the head of the judiciary in the province of Eastern Azerbaijan, Malek Ajdar Sharifi, when a reporter asked him if the sentence can be annulled.


According to Sharifi still "some doubts" about the "evidence" in the case of the woman, who was sentenced to death by stoning for adultery in 2006 and for the murder of her husband. These concerns have delayed a final decision on the case of women, which led to a strong international outcry by human rights associations, governments and the press.
