Rights group urges Iran to release son, lawyer of woman sentenced to death by stoning
An international rights group has urged Iran to immediately release the son and the lawyer of an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, saying the two were only trying to save her life.
An Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery confessed to helping a man kill her husband and re-enacted the alleged crime in an interview broadcast Friday by Iranian state television -- an apparent effort by the government to deflect international criticism over the case.
