Man Executed By Stoning In Iran

The Iranian authorities executed on Thursday Jaafar Kiani, boyfriend of Mokarameh Ebrahaimi, for adultery.

In late June 2007, the Judicial Authority postponed the implementation of the sentence following heavy pubic pressure (see "Couple Slated For Execution By Stoning Tomorrow In Tehran" ).
