Request for Help: Save Mokarrameh Ebrahimi from Stoning
By Kamangir • Jul 12th, 2007 • Category: Human Rights, Iran, Islam, Islamic RepublicMeydaan, the organization which played an active role in trying to save Jafar Kiani from stoning has issued another warning. This time, they are worried about the fate of his wife. Remembering last week’s stoning, this is more than just a warning.
The statement reads “on June 5, 2007, Jafar Kiani, Mokarrameh Ebrahimi’s husband, was stoned by the Police and by the local Judge, only for the people of Aghche-kand, Takistan, Ghazvin, and all other cities across Iran to realize that a person can still be buried up to his neck and be killed by stone.” Referring to the early victory against the Judiciary, which yielded a temporary cancellation of the stoning, they warn “Never before, death in a hole was so close to Iranian citizens”. “When they managed to stone Jafar Kiani, we have all the reasons to believe that they can stone Mokarrameh Ebrahim at any moment”, they add. “We ask you for help because we believe no legal change can happen without people’s will and help. Help us! What should we do to help Mokarrameh Ebrahimi?”
