Stop stoning, save Sakineh!

By July 22nd, 2010, under Inspirations

My friend Vit sent me this message and I am sharing it with you – 15 people are on death row awaiting death by stoning in Iran, but yesterday a woman was saved from this brutal killing by a massive international campaign. Global voices of condemnation saved her from stoning. There is an urgent petition you can sign to the Iranian government to put an end this sickening brutality once and for all and I thought you would want the link.
