I know it's not about gaming... it's about real life... as real as it gets.

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43 year old mother of two, was convicted in May 2006 of having an “illicit relationship” with two men and received 99 lashes as her sentence. Despite already having been punished, she has now been further convicted of “adultery” and she and sentenced to death by stoning.

She is currently being held on death row in Tabriz Prison, north-west Iran, and faces imminent execution. Around July 7th , following international protests, officials in Tabriz asked the head of Iran’s judiciary to agree that her sentence of stoning to death be converted to execution by hanging.

I believe in freedom to practice religion... but this is just barbaric. THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY PEOPLE! NOT THE STONE AGES!

Not really... I know that she isn't getting stoned but they are still holding her...

It is clear Sakineh remains ingrave risk… PLEASE sign this petition  which calls on the Iranian authorities to clarify her current legal status, demands that the authorities enact legislation that bans stoning as a legal punishment, and eliminates other forms of the death penalty for “adultery” such as fogging or imprisonment.

The problem is who are we to tell them how to make their laws? They're held back by their religious beliefs, they're not part of a democracy and until they break free from their religious doctrines they won't have any semblance of a fair society. Even then, it'll take many, many decades for women to be "equal" to men.

Look at America. The hatreds, the distrust, the old beliefs are still rampant and it's been almost 140 years since slavery ended, almost 90 years since suffrage was enacted and yet there's plenty of racism and sexism. Just because laws are put in place, or international pressures are applied, doesn't mean people will ever truly change.

I know you and everyone who signed mean well but signing a petition online is just about the lamest amount of support one could give when you consider what true action would do (I'm guilty of signing some, too). And in the Middle East, those who act either die, get imprisoned, or wind up being the bad guy eventually. I'm sure Ahmadinejad didn't bow under the pressure of a petition, he bowed under the guise of other governments condemning this silliness.

signed, getting stoned to death would suck.

Not signed, not my country, not my laws, not my business.

So why is your army in Iraq and Afghanistan? 

This is about medieval laws being practiced in the 21st century. Things like stoning women and honour killings have no place in today's society, yet they still happen.

You must think highly of me if you think the Canadian army is mine.  I don't care about what the middle eastern country's do cause those are their laws and have been so for a hell of a long time and they have done nothing but fight in support of their laws and way of life.  Why would i want to stick my nose in there when they are just as willing to fight each other as they are anyone else.

again...i would pay BIG bucks to stone someone to death, that'd be so cool!

Dude... you need to book an appointment with a psychiatrist. You seriously have problems dude.

Also, didn't you realise I removed the previous post on purpose. I thought you would get the hint but it looks like it failed to sink in. What if that someone who was being stoned to death was your mother? Would you still pay to stone her to death? Is it still cool? How about your sister (if you have one). Would it be cool to stone her to death?

@Kronic... I keep forgetting you are Canadian... DOH! I still think that laws that only punish the female over adultery is sick... especially if that punishment is death, let alone that the method is so damned barbaric as stoning.

I still think religion may be the biggest con job in the history of man.
