Iranian parlement is reviewing a new draft of the Islamic Penal Code, in which the punishment for adultery is, once again, stoning.
The only difference in this new act from the current law is that “based on the prosecutor’s discretion, if the implementation of penal measure such as stoning causes mafsadeh [degradation and disgrace], he can submit a revision and request an alternative measure such as lashing or execution to the Head of Judiciary.
