Stoning is a particularly brutal form of execution, specifically designed to increase and prolong the suffering endured by the individual being executed.

Currently nine Iranian women http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M7215242910612138237741565 are under sentence of execution by stoning for adultery, including one woman who claims she was forced into prostitution by her husband.

Please join Amnesty International and human rights defenders in Iran - mostly women, including activists, journalists and lawyers - to put an end to stoning!

Urge the Iranian government to commute the sentences of death by stoning and to abolish this inhumane practice, today!
