Stop the public stoning of Malak Ghorbany

On or about June 29, 2006, a court in Iran sentenced Malak Ghorbany, an Iranian woman, to death by public stoning after finding her guilty of the crime of ”adultery”. Under Iran’s Penal Code, the term “adultery” is used to describe any intimate or sexual act between a man and a girl or a woman outside of marriage. The crime of adultery is also used in cases where a girl is deemed to have committed “acts incompatible with chastity,” which includes instances of rape. In Iran, the punishment for “adultery” is death. In Ms. Ghorbany’s case, the particular method of execution mandated — death by stoning — is one of the most inhumane and gruesome acts of torture and violence.
