Under Iranian law, stoning remains mandatory for both men and women convicted of 'adultery whilst married'.

Stoning is purposefully designed to cause maximum suffering, and is a brutal and inhumane punishment. Bound, wrapped in shrouds and buried in a pit with head and shoulders above ground, victims are likely to survive for between 20 minutes and two hours from when the first stone thrown draws blood. Iran are reviewing their penal code - let's make sure they rip stoning out of it.
