Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, 43, was convicted of adultery in 2007 and sentenced to death by stoning.
The British government, human rights organisations and celebrities joined a campaign to save her after her son, 22-year-old Sajad Ghader-zade, risked his own safety to send out an impassioned plea for help, saying there was “no justice” in his country.
The Iranian Embassy in London has confirmed to Channel 4 News that she will no longer face the death penalty by stoning, but said she was still sentenced to death by other means.

This video with words by Carl Sagan and video edited by callumCGLP is a must watch. It’s been floating around, and you know I would have posted it sooner if I had time.
I’d really appreciate those who are actually religious to give it a whirly twirl. But I understand if you don’t.

I saw this floating around the other day, and I’m posting it because it finally made it to YouTube.
It’s funny because it’s TRUE!
