Cast the first stone? Why don't we just put all the stones down, hmm?

Feministing:

Amnesty International is campaigning for the end of stoning in Iran, which the international rights organization calls "grotesque."

There are currently eleven people in Iran awaiting death by stoning; nine of them are women.

The majority of those sentenced to death by stoning are women. Women are not treated equally with men under the law and by courts, and they are also particularly vulnerable to unfair trials because their higher illiteracy rate makes them more likely to sign confessions to crimes they did not commit.

Amnesty's report notes that stoning is "specifically designed to increase the suffering" and that victims typically take 20 minutes to die. Horrific. Visit the Amnesty International website to see how you can help.
