[quote]TEHRAN, Iran – An Iranian woman who had faced death by stoning for adultery has now received a new sentence of 99 lashes after a British newspaper ran a picture of an unveiled woman mistakenly identified as her, the woman's son said Monday.
There was no official confirmation of the new sentence. The son, Sajjad Qaderzadeh, 22, said he did not know whether the new lashing sentence had been carried out yet, but heard about it from a prisoner who had recently left the detention facility where his mother is being held.
The lawyer who once represented Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani in Iran said from Paris that the situation was not clear.
"Publishing the photo provided a judge an excuse to sentence my poor mother to 99 lashes on the charge of taking a picture unveiled," Qaderzadeh told The Associated Press.
The Times of London said in its Monday edition it had apologized for the photo, but added that the new sentence "is simply a pretext."
"The regime's purpose is to make Ms. Ashtiani suffer for an international campaign to save her that has exposed so much iniquity," said the piece.
Ashtiani was convicted in 2006 of having an "illicit relationship" with two men after the death of her husband a year earlier and was sentenced by a court back then to 99 lashes. Later that year, she was also convicted of adultery and sentenced to be stoned to death, even though she retracted a confession that she claims was made under duress.
Iran suspended that sentence in July, but now says she has been convicted of involvement in her husband's killing and she could still be executed by hanging.
Her former lawyer, Mohammad Mostafaei, said in a news conference in Paris that he said it was not at all certain if there really had been a new conviction and sentence over the photograph.
"I have contacted my former colleagues at the court who told me nothing was clear on this situation," he said following a news conference with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner. "There isn't any punishment for this act in our law."
Kouchner called the sentence to death by stoning "the height of barbarism" and said her case has become a "personal cause," and he was "ready to do anything to save her. If I must go to Tehran to save her, I'll go to Tehran."
Ashtiani's two children remain in Iran and her son is a ticket seller for a bus company in the northern Iranian city of Tabriz. He said he and his younger sister Farideh, 18, have not seen their mother since early August.
"We have really missed her," he said. "We expect all influential bodies to help to save her."
The stoning sentence for Ashtiani has prompted international outcry over the past months with both Brazil and Italy asking Iran to show flexibility in the case.
The Vatican on Sunday raised the possibility of using behind-the-scenes diplomacy to try to save her life as well.[/quote]

I read the titel as Iron Woman :tinfoil:
She got 99 problems and lashings be all of them
"Let's beat her up because they told us not to."
Is it just me or does Iran's execution policy's sound sexual?
"Ooooh! Iran lash me with your big bone harder before stoning my ass!"
Iran, 4 chan of the world, with less lulz and more terrorists.

I think that's just you...
The last sentence confuses me. How can you use behind the scenes diplomacy once you've told everyone you're going to use it?
i hope she dies the slut

Anything more than 10 lashes or so and it goes beyond the realm of possible sexualization since it can cause serious permanent injury or death
Fucking savages.
I thought it said, "Iron Woman" like "Iron man"
Iran is unfixable.
And as always the UN sits there with their foots up their asses.
[QUOTE=The golden;24641448]Iran...what a fucking joke of a country.[/QUOTE]
A good portion of Iran is actually quite normal, western even. Stories like this are absolutely terrible but even America could be made to look like hell if only the negatives were reported on. In fact, it would likely look worse.
Stoning someone to death is bad enough, but whipping? Fuckers.
What the fuck Iran.
Wasn't she lashed until she admitted to the crime of adultery to begin with?

Facepunch:
"Iran stoning woman" - Crack jokes.
"Israel building settlements" - Spend the rest of the thread explaining the
reasons why Israel is a terrible country that everyone has heard countless times..

Why do you hate America?
I mean really I'm being completely serious when I ask this, every post of yours has to have some anti American rhetoric.
To even imply that America's negatives are worse than Iran is ridiculous.
i'd fucking do that to a woman if she fucking cheated on me too

fuckin whore
From the beginning of the controversy on this, I was positive she would pull through and not be punished for something she didn't do (To anyone who doesn't know, Divorce in Islam is very frowned upon. So, in cases like this, it's normal to accuse the spouse of adultery so the accuser doesn't have to be looked down upon.)
I'll be remembering Sakineh

A Troll, please ignore him.
That's medieval islam to you.
:smithicide: This is why few people like the Middle East.
I'm surprised that Iran canceled the first sentence. However if she is founded guilty of killing her husband, go ahead and hang her she knew what she did. It just pisses me off when these young women get raped there, the men receive the stoning and the women get hung.
Fucking pigs
