Resolutions of the Protest against Sakine Mohammadi Ashtiani’s Stoning Verdict |
|
We are gathered here today in response to the plight of Sakine Mohammadi Ashtiani’s children. They have called upon the world for help to save their mother’s life. We in [name of the place where the protest is being held]… tell them that we feel their pain and enormous grief. We want them to know that they are not alone in their sorrow and anguish.
Dear ones! Your letter has raised a wave of sympathy and compassion, demonstrating that humanity is alive. Today we loudly declare that: 1- The stoning verdict against Sakine Mohammadi Ashtiani should be discarded. 2- Execution is murder by the state, and stoning is the most savage and merciless form of execution and should be abolished in Iran and worldwide. 3- Sexual relationships between adults are private matters and no individual, no institution, and especially no government has the right to interfere in these matters 4- We strongly condemn the Islamic Republic for its barbaric implementation of stoning, execution and torture and its enforcement of Qesas laws. We call upon all international institutions as well as the United Nation and the European Union to strongly condemn the Islamic Republic and demand that Sakine Mohammadi Ashtiani’s stoning verdict be overturned, as well as the verdicts of all others condemned to stoning and execution. 5- We use this opportunity to demand immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners. 6- The Islamic Republic of Iran’s leaders should be prosecuted and punished in an international court on charges of stoning and execution of tens of thousands of people. No to execution. No to stoning. No to murderous Islamic Qesas laws. Translation: Mission Free Iran |
