Until Iran makes illegal the cruel practice of stoning, women’s lives are still at risk. Ms. Kolhari’s attorney has asked that you please write again to Ayatollah ‘Ali Khamenei and United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner Louise Arbour to ensure that Ms. Kolhari remains safe and that Iran abandons death by stoning.
