Brazil’s president-elect: Iranian’s stoning would be ‘barbarous’

Share:

Brazil’s female president-elect, Dilma Rousseff, said Wednesday she was “totally opposed” to the death-by-stoning sentence ordered for an Iranian woman, Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani.

“I am totally opposed to the stoning of the Iranian woman,” she told reporters in a joint media conference in Brasilia with outgoing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

“I have no official status for that (to intervene), but I tell you all that I find the stoning of Sakineh a very barbarous act,” she said.

“Even taking into account customs of other countries, the stoning of Sakineh remains a barbarous act.”

Lula, who hands over power January 1 to Rousseff, his protegee and former cabinet chief, in July urged “my friend,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to grant Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani asylum in Brazil.

But Tehran rebuffed the request, saying that, though Lula was respected, he was poorly informed and being “emotional,” and he should not interfere in Iran’s internal affairs.

Mohammadi-Ashtiani, 43, was sentenced to death by two different courts in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz in separate trials in 2006.

The first death sentence, by hanging, for her involvement in the murder of her husband, was commuted to a 10-year jail term by an appeals court in 2007.

But the second, by stoning, was on a charge of adultery levelled over several relationships, notably with the man convicted of her husband’s murder, and was upheld by another appeals court the same year.

Her sentence has sparked an outcry in Western countries. It was temporarily suspended by Iranian judicial authorities but media reports suggested it was now imminent.

          Yes Baroud, It is nonsense to think that HA, Iran, or any other group will take control of Lebanon. History teaches us that no group, or sect can or will dare take control of Lebanon. It is nothing but propaganda, and a scare tactic to say that women would be stoned By HA. It is more of an insult to Lebanese women, than it is an accusation to HA.

  6. They are barbarian regardless , look at Iraq Kaeda and the barbarian police who storm the church,the Iraqi police didnt give a dam knowing that all Christians are inside. Al kaeda asking for the reversal of the coversion of 2 moslems women in egypt to Christianity. Who else than barbarian demand this..
    It is a losing battle for the middle eastern christian, we tried our best to civilize them but nothing can work, their religion turn about women, moslem are afraid to allow their women to marry christian or non chritian because the whole islam religion will fall apart, their whole religion turn aroud the women .You have a whole souk in Yemen to give boys for men to be abused secxually ,but no stoning occur their for men, as being pedofile is not a big sin ,but a women to have an affair is big deal, and if a women divorce or men ,the men can’t re-marry his ex before another man sleep with her ,so go figure out what’s holy and what’s not .
    ;how you can live with such people , Europe one day will wake up , not for the fact because they are afraid of their christian belief( most European dont believe anything) but they will need to fight for their freedom , otherwise a different dark age is moving toward them and eventually they will win the battle ,the final one
