Tabriz - says that the mother is guilty of the assassination of his father, but calls will not be executed. A talk at a press conference organized by the Iranian judicial authorities in Tabriz, is the son of Mohammad Sakineh Ashtiani, the woman sentenced to stoning for adultery and then murder. "My mother has been sentenced to stoning, but this should not happen.I ask that the sentence commuted, this is my request," said the young man. "I consider my mother and Issa Taheri (her alleged lover and accomplice) as the killers of my father and the two are guilty. I thought they would have been if there had been controversy about his case, but this has not happened," he added Sajjad.
Sakineh, 43, was sentenced to death in 2006 for involvement in the murder of her husband and stoning for adultery. The first sentence was reduced to ten years imprisonment on appeal in 2007, but the second was confirmed the same year by another court of appeal. Last July the Justice suspended the sentence of stoning to death waiting for a new examination of the file.
Sajjad's lawyer and Ghaderzadeh Sakineh, Hutan Kian, were arrested Oct. 10 along with two German journalists who had traveled to Tabriz, in northwestern Iran, unbeknownst to the authorities, to interview them. The son of Sakineh said today that it has been released on bail on October 12.
His appeal comes as rumors that the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, gave the 'clearance' and the woman would be hanged "recommended" to run in the first week of 2011.
