Join us to save the Lives of two Women Sentenced to Stoning in Iran We are gravely concerned about the lives of two Iranian women Malak Ghorbani and Ashraf Kalhori sentenced to death by stoning by the Islamic Republic’s authorities.
Asharf Kalhori, who is currently in Evin prison in Tehran, and Malak Ghorbani who is imprisoned in the city of Orumieh.
These women are awaiting the most brutal form of execution only because they chose to exercise their basic rights and freedom and have sexual relationships with the men whom they wanted. In the case of Ashraf she tried to divorce from her husband, but the court did not approve her plea for divorce.
We urgently call all freedom- lovers and defenders of women’s rights to join us to save the lives of Ashraf and Malak. Please write protest letters and urge the IRI’s authorities to immediately cancel the execution of Ashraf Kalhori, and Malak Ghorbani, a woman imminently sentenced to be stoned to death for adultery in the name of Islam. We are concerned that such an unacceptable and inhumane punishment is being applied to a women who herself is a victim of the justice system, as such a precedent would only confirm misunderstandings about Islam.
