Blogger visits the place where the Stoning took place
By Kamangir • Jul 10th, 2007 • Category: Iran, Islam, Islamic Republic, WomenThis is the English translation of a post by Varesh. She managed to go to Aghche-kand, the village where the recent stoning took place.
I am coming back from Takistan.
I am in Takistan, just back from Aghche-kand. I talked to the villagers. They told me about the crowd of Police officers who were sent here for the stoning of Jafar Kiani. A man told me, “If the statement had come from Qazvin [the capital of the province], they would have not stoned him”. I asked him, “Which statement?” “Apparently, the Judiciary was ordered the stoning to be canceled, but they missed it”. I want to tell him how much naive he is. I have heard that the spokesman of the Judiciary has talked about “judges’ independence”. Did he not talk about the head of the Judiciary’s order to ban stoning? That no one is either sentenced to stoned or actually stoned? Jafar’s blood is still visible around the hole. There are bloody gloves here and there, used by the Police. And lots of smoked cigarettes. It is clear how much nervous the Police officers have been. Makroumeh is not doing well. She is in prison. She tried to commit suicide after she heard the news. Who can guarantee that this lady will not be stoned? Who can guarantee that the judge’s independence will not topple other guarantees? In the local Judiciary no one has anything to say.

Appalling. The predicament of the Iranian leadership is that instead of performing its duties of bringing about security, creating job opportunities, providing the people with a dignified life, promoting culture and industrializing the nation, it has occupied itself with preaching and guidance whilst Iran suffers a real threat/crisis both internally and externally.
