Women facing imminent stoning, death by hanging in Iran
Iran Focus
Tuesday, November 30, 2004
Tehran, Nov. 30 - The Supreme Court of Iran has upheld a
stoning sentence for a woman accused of adultery. Hajieh
Esmailvand has been serving prison time in the town of
Jolfa (Northwestern Iran) since Jan. 2000 for having an
affair with a 17-year-old boy.
Originally she had been sentenced to 5 years imprisonment
and "death by hanging"; however the Supreme Court
subsequently changed the verdict from death by hanging
to "death by stoning".
One informed source told Iran Focus that the Supreme
Court has ordered that the remainder of Hajiehs prison
sentence be annulled so that the stoning sentence can be
carried out "before 21 December 2004".
The boy whom Hajieh had the affair with is also on death
row awaiting official orders to be hanged in public. His
identity has not been made clear.
The Supreme Court has also upheld the death sentence for
a 24-year-old woman called Najmeh Vosoogh Razavi who was
studying law in university. Najmeh is to be hanged in
public next week.
At least four women have been hanged since Jan. 2004 with
at least a dozen more sentenced to execution.
On Nov. 20 a female member of Iran's parliament (Majlis)
was quoted by state-run newspapers as saying, "if 10
prostitutes were executed, there would be no more
prostitutes on the streets".
