MAN convicted of committing adultery has been stoned to death in a northern Iranian city, a top judiciary official said. The stoning was carried out in the city of Rasht during the Iranian month of Esfand which ended on March 20, judiciary spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi said. He said the woman involved in the case has "repented and so has not been stoned". Under Iran's Islamic law, adultery is still punishable by stoning, which involves the public hurling of stones at a partially-buried convict. A man is buried up to his waist and a woman up to her shoulders. Convicts are spared if they can free themselves.

Pot can't kill you, it'll just put you to sleep if overused.
I’m surprised they didn’t kill his wife for good measure.
Now that’s torture.
And O would say that’s breaking the rules.
As someone who’s husband of 16 years committed adultery, for once I side with Islam. Kill the s.o.b.

He said the woman involved in the case has "repented and so has not been stoned".Repented from getting cheated on? Well, I guess she made the correct decision.
Amazed, I am amazed! The woman wasn’t killed.
