Ferdos has been sentenced to stoning in Iran!

Protest against the brutal sentences of stoning in Iran, Pakistan and Nigeria

According to Entekhab News paper, a woman named Ferdos B. has been sentenced to death by stoning in Iran. This is the third such sentence in the last two weeks, coming on top of the sentencing of Ameneh Laval in Nigeria and Zafaran Bibi in Pakistan. There is also the case of Sima, sentenced to stoning in Iran a while ago. These women were sentenced for having sexual relations outside of marriage. They are experiencing the nightmare of waiting to be stoned to death, a day that they are buried in the ground and are killed by gradual torture. This medieval and brutish treatment is happening in front of our eyes and the Islamic government of Iran is one of the main supporters and promoters of this brutality, a crime against women.

To oppose and abolish stoning, the International Committee against Stoning is calling an international protest action against this barbarism on May 31, 2002. We call upon all freedom loving, progressive and women’s rights’ organizations and individuals to gather in front of the embassies of Iran, Pakistan, Nigeria and Sudan and express their anger against stoning. There will be a rally on the same day in front of the European Union’s office in Brussels.

Send letters to the European Union’s officials protesting against their lack of action against this brutality. Put pressure on the media to report news of sentences to, and execution by, stoning around the world. We must put pressure on the governments of Iran, Pakistan, Nigeria and Sudan to stop and abolish the law of stoning.
