Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the Iranian woman who was sentenced to death by stoning, has spoken out about the lies and false accusations made by the authorities in Tehran.
In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, she tells them that the authorities are trying to confuse the media in order to execute her in secret.
She has not only been accused of adultery, but the murder of her husband, despite the fact that the man who did kill her husand is imprisoned for his crime.
Mohammadi Ashtiani has said, "They're lying. They are embarrassed by the international attention on my case and they are desperately trying to distract attention and confuse the media so that they can kill me in secret."
She has also spoken of the double standards facing women in Iran, "it's because I'm a woman, it's because they think they can do anything to women in this country. It's because for them adultery is worse than murder – but not all kinds of adultery: an adulterous man might not even be imprisoned but an adulterous women is the end of the world for them. It's because I'm in a country where its women do not have the right to divorce their husbands and are deprived of their basic rights."
