No I'm not talking about stoned as in herb. A story broke yesterday about an Iranian woman who was convicted of adultery (confessed through torture). Her sentence was to be buried up to the waist and stoned for a few hours (with rocks small enough to not kill her instantly). They were going to do this until she finally died but they wanted to torture her some more first.
An international outcry rang out across the internet and today they decided that they wouldn't carry out the sentence. I'm amazed by this actually, not because of the Old Testament style punishments. No I'm amazed that Iran didn't get smaller rocks after the international outcry, just to make it worse on her.
Here's the story:
