Iran: Executions continue

The International Committee against Stoning have reported that on Wednesday, 11 July, the Islamic Republic of Iran stoned Maryam Ayoobi to death. Maryam Ayoobi, mother of two, was imprisoned a year ago and sentenced to death for committing adultery.

The International Committee against Stoning had organised a wide scale campaign in condemnation of the Islamic Republic of Iran and in her support to save her from stoning. Thousands of protest letters were sent to the Islamic government but despite these pressures, she was executed in Tehran.
