Iran women named, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtianti has been convicted of Adultery and for the murder of her husband in the year 2006. Ashtianti gave an interview about a month ago to tell her side of the story, which she told reporters that a man entered her life and fooled her with his words in order to kill her husband. The man was her husband cousin and was the master mind behind the plot of killing Ashtianti’s husband. She said she knew about the idea, but she didn’t take it seriously. The day of her husband’s death, she said, that she went to get medicine for her mother in-law and saw the man there with all his tools, electrical tools, wires, and gloves. The prosecutor of East Azerbaijan Province, Malek Ajdar Sharifi said, “The husband was given an injection to fall asleep by his wife, then the man arrived and put him into the bath with two electrical lines on his body and killed the deceased.” The man who actually killed her husband was later identified and imprisoned for the crime. Ashtianti sentence on the other hand is being reviewed again and her sentencing for complicity in the murder is in process. The sentence was commuted because the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights states from Article 5 that no one should be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.
In my opinion about this crime sounds like the women was an accomplice to the murder of her husband. She obviously knew what was going on if the man told her that he would kill his cousin for her and there are obvious signs that he was going to do it by the tools she saw him with. I don’t think the women should be stoned to death because that’s just cruel for a government to punish someone like that, but I do think if she is proven guilty then she should serve time in prison.
