The adult son of an Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned to death for adultery said yesterday he fears she will be executed shortly after this week’s end to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani’s 22-year-old son Sajjad Mohammadi Ashtiani was speaking by telephone to a news conference organised by the French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy in Paris.
“Ramadan is coming to an end and, according to Islamic law, execution can resume,” the young man warned. The Islamic calendar varies a little around the world, but Ramadan is due to come to an end everywhere this week.
