The Islamic Republic of Iran has already stoned hundreds of people for allegations related to sexual relationship outside of marriage. These crimes are happening in 21st century and right in front of our eyes. This savage and dark-age behavior should be stopped. Stoning law should be nullified in the whole world, immediately.Next Tuesday is the worldwide day against stoning and yet many women and men are waiting to be stoned in prisons. In Iran only, during the last few months, six women have been convicted to stoning. In Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan, Afghanistan and few other countries, stoning is a current law and most of the time women are victims of this middle age crime. For the last three decades the Islamic Republic of Iran has been responsible for most of these verdicts, stoning hundreds of women and men. This regime is the one which currently shows most resistance against anti-stoning protests.[...]
