Your efforts contributed to a decision by Iranian officials to review Sakineh’s case and put the stoning sentence on hold. You made a difference. Unfortunately events of the past few days -- Sakineh’s horrendous mock execution, the elimination of all visits by her family and lawyer, the recent punishment of 99 lashes for a totally trumped up offense, and today’s announcement out of Iran that Sakineh may well be executed at the end of Ramadan ( September 9th) -- make clear there is considerable urgency to renew our efforts on her behalf. Now is the time to implore the most senior clerics in Iran, versed and learned as they are in Sharia law and practice, to intervene on Sakineh’s behalf and speak out against the serious miscarriages of justice in her case. The letter which appears in the link here, addressed to the religious leaders, does exactly this. CLICK here and make your voice heard. Please, do it today! http://freesakineh.org/letter Thank you. posted 9/10/2010 at 12:29 PM
