TABRIZ, Iran (AP) — The son of an Iranian woman, whose death sentence by stoning for adultery sparked world outrage, demanded Saturday that his mother's verdict be commuted.
In his first public meeting with journalists, Sajjad Qaderzadeh told reporters in the northwest city of Tabriz that he had been freed on Dec. 12 after posting a $40,000 bail and now wants to devote his life to saving his mother.
"We lost our father and we don't want to lose our mother. We demand that her verdict be commuted," Qaderzadeh told reporters.
>>>How much tribulation and persecution does one woman have to endure? First Sakineh was arressted on trumped up adultery and sentenced to death and then a mruder wrap put in for good measure. She has been held in prison indefinitely, her son arrested and both of them made to appear on a bogus tv 'whodunnnit' docuemntary and today Sakineh's son has blackmailed to admit her mother killer ger father so that the regime does not lose face. Has there been any woman who has been persecuted in the way Sakineh has? You would think she was a war criminal but the truth is Sakineh is just a simple woman who has been tormented by a regime which shows no interest in welfare or for any other women.
How long will Iranians put up with this?

There's a murder victim in
by Sargord Pirouz on Sat Jan 01, 2011 01:05 PM PSTThere's a murder victim in all this. What about the murder victim? Or is the murder irrelevant so long as we can try and make Iran look bad. Yeah, that must be it. To hell with the murder victim, let's just try and strecth this into our ongoing anti-Iran narative. "That's the ticket."

"I do not think that my mother is innocent. She is certainly guilty,"
...it is funny that IRI arranged the press conference for Sajjad to make the statement!
