Request for Help: Save Mokarrameh Ebrahimi from Stoning
Meydaan, the organization which played an active role in trying to save Jafar Kiani from stoning has issued another warning. This time, they are worried about the fate of his wife. Remembering last week’s stoning, this is more than just a warning.
The statement reads “on June 5, 2007, Jafar Kiani, Mokarrameh Ebrahimi’s husband, was stoned by the Police and by the local Judge, only for the people of Aghche-kand, Takistan, Ghazvin, and all other cities across Iran to realize that a person can still be buried up to his neck and be killed by stone.” Referring to the early victory against the Judiciary, which yielded a temporary cancellation of the stoning, they warn “Never before, death in a hole was so close to Iranian citizens”. “When they managed to stone Jafar Kiani, we have all the reasons to believe that they will stone Mokarrameh Ebrahim at any moment”, they add. “We ask you for help because we believe no legal change can happen without people’s will and help. Help us! What should we do to help Mokarrameh Ebrahimi?”

This is awful news and I am feeling incredibly helpless right now.
The very least we can do is spread the word and alert the international media. Not that Iran has ever cared about its worldwide reputation…
I read through several blogs & sources for this one, sort of like being unable to turn away from a terrible car accident. The wife was previously married, had three other children, but ran away with the poor fellow who was stoned because her first husband was apparently prostituting her! They married, and spent four years together (having a daughter at the time) before being found out and arrested. They have already spent several years in prison! I just can’t comprehend this barbarity over something we in the west just don’t consider a criminal matter anymore (adultery). Although Canada has little influence in Iran these days, I will be writing to our Foreign Affairs office to urge them to offer this woman asylum as perhaps a solution without further bloodshed.

We did started above campaign when the news pop up but honesty some people insulted whole campaign (I have no clue who are they and for what purpose they write inappropriate things) which don’t bother us.
some people had lots of questions, what is it all about? and what is going on in Iran?
In reality it’s hard to convince people in overseas something like this is happening in Iran. kinda it’s out of mind! it’s very barbaric! (no offence to Muslims) it’s part of Islamic ruling belong to 1400 years ago which particularly I think even it was barbaric at that time too!
I condemn all barbaric actions toward people! I believe as long as religion govern instead of poeple then this kind of cruel actions happens toward people in form of religion and god!
