TEHRAN, Iran — Two men convicted of adultery were stoned to death in northeastern Iran last month but a third convicted man managed to escape, Iran's judiciary spokesman said Tuesday.
Ali Reza Jamshidi said the stoning took place in the city of Mashhad in late December but did not provide the names of the convicted men.
Under Iran's Islamic law, adultery is punishable by stoning, but such sentences are rare. International human rights groups have long criticized stoning in Iran as a cruel form of punishment.

“strict muzzie terrorists” in the west also have adultery/porn and get stoned.
But in the other order.
An intensely hypocritical culture
Like the gaza hamas tv guy caught watching porn
Geez, a creative way to have gotten rid of WJC and a number of other sleezeballs in Congress.
Anyone knows what happens to the other participating party?
I thought only women committed adultery in islam?.............
I’d hate to think what the women’s punishment was.
Yeah...but don’t they still get the 72 virgins?
Was the first stone thrower sinless?
Could’ve been much worse! Could’ve been water-boarded!
Their sentencing method has some flaws, Houdini could do well there since if they escape they are free and clear.
This “religion” is Satanic, nothing else.
I’m wondering if the men were stoned because they committed adultery with each other . . .
...one...two....three....
...celebrate diversity....
But they would not feel so all alone....
“A man is buried up to his waist, while a woman is buried up to her neck. If the person manages to escape from the hole, he or she will remain free under Islamic law.”
Women always get such a fair shake. /s
I didn’t think men ever got punished for this. According to the story, one man managed to lift himself out, and was set free.
Thank God we live in America ...
... where forgiveness reigns.
Probably the rare part is that it's men being stoned to death instead only the women.
hmmmmmm
Yep....I suspect the same thing.
No kidding. What a bunch of crap.
Let me guess, Abolhassan Banisadr and Salman Rushdie?
