Stoning women to death Medieval culture of Iran & Middle east

[ButlerKing]

They still kept this culture which dates back thousand years ago, it is for them a tactic to punish women who commit adultery.

Although there are campaigns to get rid of this cruel execution of women by Iranian themselves (both men and women ) the president does not care.

This is just terrible. This just shows how backwards these people are. I can't imagine myself living in a country where the government promotes these type of raw criminal acts.

[ButlerKing]

There's also a hanging culture for men who commit gay adultery, stoning is just one of the list, there's even beheading. Women get hanged, behead too but stoning by hundred people is the most painful of death. All their executions are sick.

Wow, can't believe that they are humans...
Kinda old news but still...

Tehran, Iran, Sep. 27 – An Iranian court in the north-eastern city of Mashad sentenced a man to have one of his eye’s gouged out as punishment for blinding another man during a scuffle, state-run press reported.

The defendant, identified only by his first name Amir, was sentenced by the court to have his left eye gouged out, the hard-line daily Quds wrote in its Tuesday edition. It added that Amir was found guilty of blinding a man identified as Mehdi in one eye during a scuffle they had in the open.

Amir, who is currently languishing in jail, was also sentenced to 74 lashes and prison time.

The phrase “An eye for an eye” is very stringently adhered to in Iran’s Islamic law.
