Iranian woman (Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani) sentenced to death forced to confess - 12 August 2010

France24 reports 12th August 2010.

A lawyer for an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning has told a British newspaper she was tortured for two days before confessing on state TV to being an accomplice to her husband's death.

Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani's lawyer told the Guardian on Thursday that his client, a 43-year-old mother of two, was forced to give the interview, which was recorded in Tabriz prison where she has been held for the past four years.

"She was severely beaten up and tortured until she accepted to appear in front of camera. Her 22-year-old son Sajad and her 17-year-old daughter Saeedeh are completely traumatised by watching this programme," lawyer Houtan Kian said on the newspaper's website.

i have 1 simple question-----if da iranian govt. has nothing 2 hide, first and foremost, y have they blurred her face while she is being interviewed on state tv? this sounds more suspicious and more questions arise rather than being answered. y havent they allowed a neutral foreign body from UN 2 come in and interview her as well---first of all, even though her face is blurred, i dont think she is that woman as in the original picture, her face is not that swelled up and fat. iranian regime is

@PleasureTV Before 1979, Iran was a beautiful country. Islam has destroyed everything and everyone.

@tuna990 Islam has respect for no one but muslims.

@westandfreedomforeve Islam recognize and respect all monoteist religions, their prophets and holy books. But if you have any doubt you can yourself read the Quran .

[tuna990]

@COLIBRIMAN79 You be respectful to everybodies religion and dont insult ! You dont forget that then we can say same things about your religion too.... İslam is the most humanist religion .For confidence you can read Quran. You speak about İran but not İslam.

I'm so sorry for IRAN.

They were a great nation before, but look what Islam has done to their brains....

Burn in hell Mohammad and other fagots like him

لباطل ، كذب ، ليس Sakineh! يضطر الناس إلى الكذب لأنه يتم إجبارهم من قبل الحكومة من القرف من الاسلاميين ، وكلها وهمية فقط لغسل وجه الحكومة الدينية الملتحي من المولعين! اللصوص! الحرية!
