Iran: Woman sentenced to death by stoning might be spared

There is a good chance the life of Sakineh Ashtiani, the Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, will be spared, said Head of Iran's High Human Rights Council Mohammed Javad Larijani.

"Our judiciary made a lot of efforts (in reviewing the case) and we think there is a good chance her life could be saved," he said. (AFP)
