Iran's state-run Press TV says it has filmed a confession with Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery.

Press TV said it took Ms Ashtiani to her home to recount details of her husband's murder, of which she has also been accused.

The announcement follows reports that Ms Ashtiani was freed. The reports were apparently sparked by the release of photos of her and her son at their home in Iran.

Press TV, a state-run English-language channel, said it would broadcast the interview with Ms Ashtiani later on Friday. "Contrary to a vast publicity campaign by Western media that confessed murderer Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani has been released, a team of broadcast production team with the Iran-based Press TV has arranged with Iran's judicial authorities to follow Ashtiani to her house to produce a visual recount of the crime at the murder scene," Press TV said on its website.

1. Sakineh Ashtiani Still At Risk

Source: Amnesty International

Yesterday, misleading reports surfaced that Sakineh Ashtiani may have been released from prison in Iran. Yet today we received reports that Iran’s state-controlled Press TV will tonight broadcast a new “confession” by an Iranian woman who faces possible execution by stoning or hanging.

Philip Luther, Amnesty’s Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme explains: “If reports are accurate that tonight’s broadcast will contain another televised ‘confession’ from Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, its potential impact on her case should not be underestimated. If the authorities are seeking to use this ‘confession’ to try to construct a new case against her, for a crime that she’s already been tried and sentenced for, we would condemn this in the strongest terms.”

2. Those disgusting, inhuman, mercilesss , brutal, ignorant, misogynistic swine.

May they rot in hell for what they are doing. No one deserves what this woman and her children (and all the others like her who we don't hear about) are suffering.

If people can't see that religious fanaticism creates hell on Earth than people are delusional.

3. the pro-Husband Murdering contigent is well represented

Obombsaway and his Republican pals appreciate the self-dissimination of propaganda in preparation for their next wars. I heard they also are skewering Kuwaiti babies, that's gotta be stopped.

4. She confessed under torture. Iranian mullahs are filth. Their minds are

diseased. Anyone who buys into their shit should have their head examined. :puke:

The BBC's James Reynolds reports on Iran's state-run Press TV's filming of the woman's ''confession''

Iran's state-run English language TV channel has shown a documentary on Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, sentenced to death by stoning for adultery.

In a 25-minute programme, Ms Ashtiani confessed to and re-enacted her alleged part in the murder of her husband.

She was shown with a needle, indicating where she gave him an injection.

6. Well that does it doesn't it.

Only intelligent people believe everything they see on television.

7. So the recent reports she had been released were inaccurate

8. inaccurate is a nice way of putting it nt

10. It can be difficult to get accurate news on such cases: activists mostly work from outside

the country, and Iran isn't particularly transparent. In the present case, it's sometimes been difficult to get a verifiable coherent idea of the judicial record; when anti-stoning activists in Germany said recently they'd heard reports she'd been released and hoped to confirm them, that might be about the best they could have done under the circumstances

Here's the Guardian yesterday:

9. i wonder

how long she was tortured to come up with her.....confession. :eyes:

[SkyDaddy7]

11. She is probably tortured & raped on a hourly basis!

That regime is NOTHING but EVIL!

[Alamuti Lotus]

13. Presumably there is some kind of evidence for these hysterical claims?

12. Ha!

I knew Amadjihadii and the religous goonsquad wasn't smart enough to let this drop, thought it was strange when the first report about her release came in.
