At least 7 stonings implemented by the Iranian Authorities in the past 4 years. 14 more sentenced to stoning.

We have also published names of 13 people besides Mrs. Ashtiani, including 10 women and three men, who are currently waiting for death by stoningin the Iranian prisons". Amiry-Moghaddam ended: "We hope that the international attention that Mrs. Ashtiani’s case has received, will also be directed towards all the others sentenced to death by stoning and will continue until this barbaric punishment is removed from the penal law". Iran Human Rights must emphasize that the numbers mentioned in this report are most probably lower than the actual numbers, because most of the stoning sentences by the Iranian authorities take place secretly and due to lack of access to information from many of the prisons in Iran. But still, all the stoning episodes in the past four years have either been confirmed officially (five cases) or unofficially (two cases) by the Iranian authorities. List of those with a stoning sentence in the Iranian prisons is based on the information gathered by the members of the campaign "stop stoning forever" that started in Iran in 2006, or reliable information from the lawyers or other human rights defenders in Iran. SEVEN CASES OF STONING BY THE IRANIAN AUTHORITIES SINCE MAY 2006: Two cases in May 2006:  Mahboubeh Mohammadi, allegedly confessed under pressure to adultery, stoned to death together with Abbas Hajizadeh in May 2006 in Mashad  Abbas Hajizadeh, stoned to death in May 2006 in Mashad (see above) One case in July 2007:  Jafar Kiani, stoned to death in July 2007, in the village of Aghche Qand near Qazvin.
