A film portraying the real-life stoning of an Iranian woman is opening in London despite protests from Iranian Government.
It depicts a brutal form of punishment still sanctioned by Iran's current hard-line regime.
The film's director claims some European governments have been reluctant to support it - fearful of antagonising Iran's regime, already at loggerheads with the West.
The film The Stoning Of Soraya M is based on the true story of a woman brutally killed after being falsely accused of adultery.
Soraya is stoned to death in her Iranian village under Islamic Sharia law.
This is the first time I've heard of this film.
It seem like a great story.
Anybody seen it?

The film's director, Cyrus Nowrasteh, has dedicated the screening to Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani currently facing execution by stoning or hanging in Iran for adultery.

before i deleted my FB i used to post the link to freesakineh.org constantly
that stoning ? is beyond disgusting
for "adultery" at that -
October 11, 2010: German journalists held in Iran after ’stoning’ interview: Journalists were interviewing Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani’s son and lawyer, who have also gone missing

Yeah, it's ? up.
? shouldnt be happening in the modern day.
It's not even real adultery half the time. -
The woman already got 100 lashes when first brought in and she's still facing stoning and now her lawyer and son are missing just for fighting for her. Sad and ridiculous situation, for real.
