"Mr President, I once again wish to draw attention to the case of Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani. As you may know, she was due to be executed by stoning by the Iranian authorities in July for alleged adultery, but following a resolution here in Parliament, where many people wore ‘Free Sakineh’ t-shirts, and an international outcry, that sentence was commuted.
It was commuted but not cancelled. Instead, it was changed to execution by hanging for alleged murder. This was due to take place on 3 November, but was again postponed, following international petitions for which there were 270 000 online signatures, and interventions from various authorities around the world, especially from the French President, Mr Sarkozy, who made a personal intervention. However, the Iranian authorities still intend to continue, and eventually to execute Sakineh.
I call again on the European authorities to redouble their efforts so that she is freed and that she can gain asylum or freedom in her own country, and to ensure that the state-sponsored murder of women and other human rights violations are ended in Iran."@en1
