In an Amnesty International Report, it was revealed that a man and a woman were found guilty of adultery in Iran. Whilst stoning has been banned in Iran, the man still suffered this fate and it has not yet been decided what will happen to the women. The story is covered here (link).
The reason for the post is that the quote from Amnesty International (see below) seems to suggest that stoning is a greater punishment for a woman than a man. That's equality for you!
Amnesty International UK director Kate Allen said: "To execute anyone by stoning is barbaric and disgraceful. To execute a woman for adultery in this cruel way simply beggars belief.
"Iran should abolish the sentence of stoning once and for all."
