Ran across this: Save Sakineh.
There is so much to be angry about here, but one little detail that caught my eye-
“Under Iranian sharia law, the sentenced individual is buried up to the neck (or to the waist in the case of men), and those attending the public execution are called upon to throw stones. If the convicted person manages to free themselves from the hole, the death sentence is commuted.
Women are buried up to the neck but men have a chance to free themselves? You wouldn’t believe there was THIS MUCH misogyny in the world.
