Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee
Stoning to death is controversial in Iran, and often used against women. In 2010 there was strong international criticism of Iran because of the case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani. Ashtiani was freed in March 2014, after nine years on death row.  Another Iranian woman, Fariba Khalegi, is believed to be in prison and in danger of stoning.
