Iran calls Ms Bruni a “French prostitute”
Ms Ashtiani’s hearing was postponed again today. It is the third straight time. Now way were they going to do anything when Save Sakineh Campaign and Mission Free Iran are having a DC press conference tomorrow and on the 28th is the “100 Cities of the World Against Stoning” protest.
FOX News spoke with Mission Free Iran’s Maria Rohaly who said that the offices of Ms Ashtiani’s lawyer, Houtan Kian, have been ransacked.
There has also been some action in France. FOX has the English translation of First Lady Carla Bruni’s letter n support of Ms Ashtiiani:
MS BRUNI: France will not abandon you. Please know from within your cell that my husband will plead ceaselessly for your release and that France will not abandon you.
How can I remain silent after learning of the sentence which has been pronounced against you?
Your eyes, full of pain and dignity, your forehead, your mind, your spirit…transformed into targets for stone throwers, to be pulverized to pieces….I just can’t see what good could come out of this macabre ceremony, whatever the judicial reasons put forward to justify it.
Shed your blood and deprive children of their mother, why?
Because you have lived, because you have loved, because you’re a woman and because you’re Iranian?
Everything within me refuses to accept this.
