{{Communiqué commun de la LDIF et du MPCTLigue du droit international des femmes Mouvement Pour la Paix et Contre le Terrorisme Sauver Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtani En finir avec la lapidation}} Samedi 24 juillet à 14 heures, des organisations non gouvernementales se mobilisent à travers le monde afin de dénoncer une pratique barbare dont les femmes sont les premières victimes, la lapidation. Il s’agit d’exiger l’abolition de ce type de châtiment dégradant et barbare ainsi que de toute autre forme de violence physique à l’encontre de celles et ceux qui ont voulu simplement exercer leurs droits fondamentaux. Le cas de Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtani. une jeune femme iranienne est à ce titre exemplaire. Elle a été condamnée à la lapidation et a déjà subi une peine de 99 coups de fouet. Selon certaines informations, face à la pression internationale, les autorités iraniennes auraient décidé de commuer la peine de Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtani en pendaison … Son crime ? Elle est soupçonnée d’avoir eu des relations extraconjugales, alors qu’elle est veuve depuis plusieurs années ! Les présidentes de la Ligue du Droit international des Femmes et du Mouvement pour la Paix et Contre le Terrorisme, en liaison notamment avec le réseau “One Law for All” (1) en Grande Bretagne, se rendront le 24 juillet à 14 heures à l’Ambassade de la République islamique d’Iran à Paris, (4 Avenue d’Iéna dans le 16 éme arrondissement) afin de remettre une lettre de protestation à l’adresse de l’ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei, Guide Suprême, et l’ayatollah Sadegh Ardeshir-Larijani, Ministre de la Justice. contacts France avec les présidentes de la LDIF et du MPCT:LDIF, Annie Sugier 06 38 39 42 92MPCT, Huguette Chomski Magnis 06 66 26 42 23(1)contacts en Grande-Bretagne [http://stopstonningnow.com/wpress/->http://stopstonningnow.com/wpress/][http://iransolidarity.org.uk/->http://iransolidarity.org.uk/][http://notonemoreexecution.org/->http://notonemoreexecution.org/] 24 July 2010 – International Sakine Ashtiani Mohammadi DayCitizens of the World against Stoning! We, the undersigned, are extremely concerned about the fate of 43 year old Sakine Ashtiani Mohamadi and fear she may be executed in Iran at any time for ‘having an illicit relationship.’ We call on people everywhere to intensify their protests by marking Saturday 24 July as the International Sakine Ashtiani Mohammadi Day. On the Saturday, we ask you to come out on to the streets and in city centres across the globe at 2pm local time bringing photos of Sakine and messages in her defence and against stoning and execution. Other measures that can be taken include highlighting her case wherever possible, signing the petition (http://stopstonningnow.com/sakine/sakin284.php?nr=50326944&lang=en), joining rallies, and keeping pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran. The mother of two has already received 99 lashes and been sentenced to death by stoning. Sajjad, her 22-year-old son, who raised the alarm of her imminent stoning when there was no further legal recourse via an open letter to the people of the world (http://stopstonningnow.com/sakine/sakin284.php?nr=50326944&lang=en) and said ‘there is no justice’ in Iran (http://iransolidarity.blogspot.com/2010/07/letter-to-mina-ahadi-and-all-those.html) has been summoned to the Ministry of Intelligence for his brave efforts to secure his mother’s freedom. As a result of the public outcry, the embassy of the Islamic regime of Iran in London has issued a press release stating that the regime did not intend to stone her, that stoning in Iran was rare and that there was no truth to the reports (http://iransolidarity.blogspot.com/2010/07/keep-pressure-on-until-we-end-stoning.html); her lawyer, however, has made it clear that “Iranian embassies are not a part of the judiciary system, and it is the judiciary which should cancel this sentence.” Rather than being rare, over 100 known stonings have already taken place in Iran and another 60 known cases await death by stoning (http://iransolidarity.org.uk/Sangsarha%20lst-farshad-july2010.pdf). Since the global protest, families of others held in Tabriz prison have come forward with news of 170 people sentenced to death, including children, youth, and 18 men and women for being gay. Two other women also await death by stoning in the same prison including Azar Bagheri who was 15 when she was arrested and 25 year old Maryam Ghorbanzadeh. On 24 July 2010 at 2pm join us and make the world stand still in its rage against medievalism and barbarity and in its support of humanity. Sakine, her children and the many others awaiting death by stoning and execution deserve nothing less.
