Il faut sauver Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani
L'histoire de cette femme iranienne de 43 ans est à couper le souffle : mère de 2 enfants, cela fait 5 ans qu'elle croupit dans la prison de Tabriz après avoir été condamnée dans un procès à la va-vite dont la justice iranienne a le secret.
Son tort : avoir eu des « relations illégales » avec deux hommes après la mort de son mari. Cependant, les choses se sont corsées lorsque la justice iranienne a accusé Sakineh de complicité dans la mort de son mari. Des faits qui selon son avocat ne sont pas avérés, (l'homme a depuis dû se réfugier en Norvège).
Elle est alors condamnée à 99 coups de fouet pour « relation immorale » et à 10 ans de prison pour complicité dans le meurtre de son mari alors qu'un deuxième tribunal la condamne pour adultère à la lapidation.
L'affaire a été révélée par son avocat et ses enfants début juillet et le tollé inte

Two years after an international outcry erupted over her sentence of stoning to death, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani remains imprisoned in north-west Iran apparently still facing a stoning sentence. Her lawyer, Javid Houtan Kiyan, arrested on account of his advocacy for her, remains held as a prisoner of conscience, and is reported to have been sentenced to a lengthy prison term. He is believed to have been tortured during his detention.
Recent but unconfirmed reports suggested that the Iranian authorities no longer intend to implement the stoning sentence handed down to Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani in These reports highlight the need for clarity concerning her fate.
According to a 25 June article in The Times [of London] newspaper, Mohammad Mostafaie, one of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani’s previous lawyers, said that he had heard that the stoning sentence had been “lifted” and that “she could be released” before completing her sentence.
While this would be welcome news, Amnesty International is not aware of any official confirmation that this is the case. If Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani is no longer under sentence of stoning, the Iranian authorities should state publicly that this i
Iran stoning woman 'to be lashed over photograph'
Ms Ashtiani's son has given several interviews saying he was told of the new sentence of 99 lashes by people who have recently been released from the prison in Tabriz where his mother is being held.
On 28 August, the Times published a picture it said was of Ms Ashtiani that it had obtained from one of her lawyers.
The lawyer, Mohammad Mostafei, who has fled Iran, said he received the picture from her son, Sajad Ghaderzadeh - a claim Mr Ghaderzadeh denies.
Mr Ghaderzadeh said the new sentence was "an excuse to increase [the authorities'] harassment of our mother".
In an open letter, he said his mother had been sentenced to receive 99 lashes "on false charges of spreading corruption and indecency by disseminating this picture of a woman presumed to be her without hijab".
He said he did not believe the sentence had been carried out but that her family and lawyer had not been allowed to visit her for two weeks and she had not been allowed to use a telephone.
Mr Ghaderzadeh said the family was appealing against the sentence.
In May , a criminal court in East Azerbaijan province found Ms
