"The hanging of Kobra Rahmanpour is suspended "while it waits for the husband's family to pardon her,"said in an interview to Adnkronos International (AKI) her attorney, Abdolsamad Khorramshahi.
Past years, execution by stoning has been postponed twice.
Six years ago, the now 24-year-old woman was sentenced to death for the murder of her mother in law. The execution order of the death sentence has not been signed by Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, the country's leading judiciaL authority,also due to International solidarity.


The final decision for execution from a murderer is laid in hands of the victims family.
When the family forgives the murderer, execution is off.



About 200,000 Iranian workers have not received their salaries for months. This was said by the head of the official Labour Union.
