On Tuesday, January 15, news agencies quoted right groups that the “Amnesty International” has condemned execution by stoning in Iran and called it one of the worst types of execution. In its statement, AI called on the Iranian regime to rule out stoning from its judiciary rules.

“Amnesty International is calling on the Iranian government to abolish immediately and totally execution by stoning and to impose a moratorium on the death penalty,” the rights group said in a 30-page report on the practice.

It was also mentioned in the report that the Iranian judiciary system assured the rights group “Amnesty” five years ago to stop implementing stoning whereas in the last few months many stonings in Iran were reported.
