The 100 Cities Against Stoning Protests, sponsored by the International Committee Against Stoning, the International Committee Against Execution, Mission Free Iran, and Iran Solidarity in the name of Sakineh Ashtiani and other condemned Iranian prisoners, were a success even early on.
What follows is a same day post from The International Committee Against Execution declaring August 28th “a historic day in the struggle against the barbarism of the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
A snip:
On this day, we proudly declare that we shall most resolutely continue this fight until Sakineh Ashtiani all those sentenced to stoning have been unconditionally freed, until stoning has been abolished around the world, until all criminal laws of the Islamic Republic have been complete revoked, and, indeed, until the regime itself has been brought down.

Since recession started and barry came into office
FOOD STAMPS: 40M – up 50%
WELFARE: 4.4M - up 18%
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS: 10M – up 4x 9
MEDICAID: 50M – up 17%
And barrycare will add 16M people to healthcare system that doctors say is already overloaded.
Who is going to end up paying for this?
You, me, China and Saudi Arabia.

Ashtiani posts
Ms Ashtiani’s children/lawyer refused visitation
Here is a translated letter from Ms Ashtiani’s government appointed local lawyer, Houtan Kian to the Supreme Court of Iran. It doesn’t flow very well but it lists the obvious facts that Ms Ashtiani received her punishment for adultery even though no man has ever been charged or even named as her alleged sexual partner. He also states that it is against the law to punish someone twice for the same crime, which is what is being done.
Ms Ashtiani is being executed because of a judge’s knowledge. Period.
Letter follows
