Jump To Comment: 1 2July 2010 - Statement from judiciary spokesman Jamal Karimirad
"Stoning has been dropped from the penal code for a long time, and in the Islamic republic, we do not see such punishments being carried out .... if stoning sentences were passed by lower courts, they were over-ruled by higher courts .... no such verdicts have been carried out."
Judicial executions by stoning have been reported only in Iran in recent years. At least 6 people have been stoned to death in Iran since 2006, despite a 2002 moratorium. Amnesty International knows of at least eight women and three men currently sentenced to death by stoning in Iran. The 2008 report End Executions by Stoning gives a full account of Iranian law and implementation of stoning. https://www.amnesty.org/en/library/info/MDE13/001/2008/en
