Ninety nine lashes wasn’t enough for Iran’s justice system; Sakineh has been retried for adultery, found guilty, and sentenced to death by stoning. Although there are reports now (July 9)  that Iran’s government, perhaps as a kind of nod to human rights, has opted for hanging.

Read the sad sordid story here, and please, sign the petition—time may be short. One thing that social networks can be good at, and for, is to shine some light on this barbarism.
