A Haven for Women, or Something

Tuesday 6 July 2010 - Filed under Dumbassery

Via CNN:

Ashtiani, 42, will be buried up to her chest, according to an Amnesty International report citing the Iranian penal code. The stones that will be hurled at her will be large enough to cause pain but not so large as to kill her immediately.

Ashtiani, who is from the northern city of Tabriz, was convicted of adultery in 2006.

She was forced to confess after being subjected to 99 lashes, human rights lawyer Mohammad Mostafaei said Thursday in a telephone interview from Tehran.

And yet we still insist being part of an organization, the UN, which has the fucking gall to elect Iran to its Comission on the Status of Women, a body designed to monitor “gender equality and the advancement of women.”

    I don’t know… I know of a few adulterers in our government that could use the ole bury’em up to their chest and hurl stones at them sentence.

    Maybe if rich white men faced those kinds of sentences, they might adjust their codpieces and do something about it.
