Originally she was being stoned for adultery.  Now all of a sudden she supposedly has a hand in her abusive husbands death. In an unusual turn in the case, the lawyer also confirmed that Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani was lashed 99 times last week in a separate punishment meted out because a British newspaper ran a picture of an unveiled woman mistakenly identified as her. Under clerical rule, women must cover their hair in public.

Iran Plans to Execute Woman in Stoning Case

Published November 01, 2010

Human rights observers warn that Iran plans to execute a woman whose sentence to stoning has drawn international condemnation.
Contacts inside in Iran say authorities in Tehran have given the go-ahead to prison officials in Tabriz to execute Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, possibly as early as Wednesday, though it's not clear yet by what method, Mina Ahadi of the International Committees Against Execution & Stoning told Fox News.
The 43-year-old mother of two had been sentenced to stoning for alleged adultery.
The Iranian government also claims Ashtiani had a hand in the murder of her husband. 
Ahadi and her organization are calling on foreign governments to put pressure on Iran to issue a stay of execution, as they believe that Western governments are now Ashtiani's greatest hope, possibly her only hope.
They also are calling on the public to come out Tuesday and protest the latest development in the hope of raising attention and awareness to the case and press for release of Ashtiani, as well as her son and lawyer, who are missing.

FOUND ON:  ALL AMERICAN BLOGGER (I highly recommend this blog)

Minnesota Democrat Betty McCollum lead the Pledge of Allegiance on the House floor recently and didn’t say the words, “Under God.”
Her staffers said that during that time of the pledge, she was taking a breath.  That was before the video came out.  Watch for yourself and you can clearly see, she simply doesn’t say it:



What I find interesting is how her office initially denied she omitted the words.  If she has a problem with saying “Under God,” then why not come out an be honest about it?  If this is a matter of saying there’s a separation of church and state, then be a proud progressive and say you stood up for whatever it is you think you are standing up for.
But why would you do this and then lie about it?  Is there a quota on lies liberals have to tell each year and you were one short?  Honestly, it makes no sense.  Unless, of course, you know that mainstream America would have a bigger problem with you editing God out of the pledge than with you taking a breath, and you didn’t think you’d get caught.
I admit, I had no idea who this woman was before I watched this video, so I went and looked at her campaign website.
It’s like a straight A grade card for leftists.
Her district is solid blue, so it’s not likely she’s going anywhere.  A Democrat has held that seat since 1947 and she’s been there since 2001.
