Celebs: No to Women in Iran being Stoned to Death

More than 80 celebrities called on Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to release Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the woman in Iran sentenced to be stoned to death for adultery.

While this move is both praiseworthy and important, it will be very surprising if the letter has any affect. The Iranian regime, which denounces and criticizes the West, is unlikely to be swayed by the icons of Western culture, in its implementation of Shariah law.

But we cannot stop trying! Be proud of these celebrities and follow their actions! Click here to see how you can help.
