Hey Gals, Check This Out - If You Commit Adultery You Only Have To Serve 11 Years In Prison (Your Lover, Though, Still Has To Die)
Such moderation from the conservative Iranians. I can already hear the calls for dialogue with the mullahs now that they've entered the 15th century... Mokarrameh Ebrahimi, who had spent a total of 11 years behind bars, was released from a prison in the city of Qazvin Monday night on the orders of Iranian judiciary's amnesty commission, lawyer Shadi Sadr told AFP. She was freed along with the son she had conceived with her partner Jafar Kiani, whose stoning in July 2007 was carried out by the local authorities in apparent defiance of the central judiciary. Under Iran's Islamic law, adultery is still theoretically punishable by stoning, which involves the public hurling stones at the convict buried up to his waist... "It was a rare ruling," Sadr said of the surprise release.
Note that the child has apparently been growing up in prison his entire life. Not that he didn't deserve it - his mom had actually cheated, after all.
