While, her lover Alireza was sentenced to death for the murder and to 100 lashes for adultery

I am confused....do the lashes come after he's put to death?/scarc

If I was him, I'd ask my lawyer if I could get the 100 lashes after the death sentence.

"Soghra was found guilty of having an affair with her husband's friend, the Etemad daily reported. She was also given a separate 15-year jail sentence for helping her lover kill her husband. While, her lover Alireza was sentenced to death for the murder and to 100 lashes for adultery."

I'm all for an end to stoning, but you could have picked a much better case to fight this.

Welcome to Free Republic!

I hope you won't be too disappointed when some FReepers don't sympathize with an adulteress.

As for me, I believe the Savior set the example of how we should treat the sins of others when he said, "Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and sin no more." Adultery need sincere repentance and reformation of life, not execution.

Posthumously?

Of course, Iran tells the world they are civilized enough for nuclear power and would never, ever develop nuclear weapons from their peaceful pursuit...

When you put your email address on a forum like this, you tend to attract a lot of spam.  Putting your phone number up probably isn't a real good idea either.

Thanks for posting this and welcome to FR. Are you living in Iran? Are you a Muslim or a former muslim?

Best of luck in your work!

If the 100 lashes were like they gave to Christ in "The Passion", death will be welcomed.
