The death by stoning controversy: Iran’s internal debate.

Author name: Azadeh Moaveni
Publication: Time in partnership with CNN
Date of article: July, 08, 10.
Summary of the article:
The author discusses the big event that happened in Iran last month. An old woman is called Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, and is 43 years old. This woman is convicted of adultery. Also, the author mentions international pressures to pardon the woman, who is an adulterer. He says the Iran government executed over 100 people this year, but the timing of Sakineh announced was difficult because it comes while the Iran government does not agree with the international pressures that want to stop its nuclear program. In addition, the author mentions that international pressures continue to be imposed on the Iran government not to hurt her.
Issues that you can find:
The article presents many struggles between the Iran government and Iran human rights and prominent human rights pressure regarding Sakineh. They want to impose on the Iran government not to hurt her while Iran government wants to stone her to death.
My opinion:
I think many countries are more different than others in propaganda, behaviors, and values. Each country is able to manage its community and punish any person who makes any mistake by its codes and rules. Also, each country does not allow another country to intervene in its issues as each country has its own privacy. For example, the Iran government has a big event that many international media talk about. I think the Iran government has a code and it is able to punish any guilty person. Also, today, if any country has special events, many countries want to intervene in this country and transfer these events to political events.
