Iran: past and present

Amnesty International urged Iran to halt the deathsentence by stoning from
Gilan Mohammadi and Gholamali Eskandari,both incarcerated in Isfahan.
Since 2003, both are jailed in prison on charges of adultery after their spouses complained to law enforcement officials.
Their lawyer mr. Mohammad Mostafaei who last week was prevented access to his clients, fears they are in imminent danger of being stoned to death.
According to the “Stop Stoning Forever” Campaign, which seeks an end to the punishment, at least eight women and two men are at risk of being stoned to death in Iran.

Amnesty International urged Iran to stop the reported destruction of hundreds of unmarked graves in the massgrave Khavaran cemetary, south of Tehran, where many victims of the massmurder in 1988 on political prisoners are buried.
During the period between august 1988 and February 1989 were between 4,500 and 10,000 political prisoners killed.There are plans to transform Khavaran into a park project and the first cement panels were broken.
The cemetary is one of the few evidences of the massive human rights abuses in those days of the regime and for many familymembers of the victims it is the only place to commemorate their loved ones.


In Iran there are childoffenders, still on death row.
