Human rights observers warn that Iran plans to execute a woman whose sentence to stoning has drawn international condemnation.

Contacts inside in Iran say authorities in Tehran have given the go-ahead to prison officials in Tabriz to execute Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, possibly as early as Wednesday, though it's not clear yet by what method, Mina Ahadi of the International Committees Against Execution & Stoning told Fox News.

The 43-year-old mother of two had been sentenced to stoning for alleged adultery.

The Iranian government also claims Ashtiani had a hand in the murder of her husband.

Ahadi and her organization are calling on foreign governments to put pressure on Iran to issue a stay of execution, as they believe that Western governments are now Ashtiani's greatest hope, possibly her only hope.

They also are calling on the public to come out Tuesday and protest the latest development in the hope of raising attention and awareness to the case and press for release of Ashtiani, as well as her son and lawyer, who are missing.

To bad we have a coward in the White House who caves in to Iran. We should be putting pressure on Iran for the horrendus human rights violations they commit on a daily basis and for taking innocent people and beringing them in on ludacris charges(in cluding innocent Americans and emembers of our allied armed forces in international waters BTW).

I envision a world without Iran!

this coming from a person who has on several occasions suggested that the best policy for dealing with the "muslim problem" is to bomb them out of existence, it not only is hysterically funny, but rediculously hypocritical...

If Im not mistaken I believe you are also a firm believer in the Death Penalty...I think for you its just about using any excuse to belittle and berate your President.

Televise it worldwide.

See if generates outrage.

Obama isn't a coward. He is too busy campaigning for the Democratic party to have the time to place a call or two!

Anyone want to go with me to knock the jockey on the Whitehouse lawn over???

I never said bomb the whole Muslim world, just the ones that do nothing but Human Rights Violations on a daily basis or harbor terrorists.

Actually I am for the Death penalty only if it is for a serious crime like murder, not adultry.

when the taliban took over afghanistan and imposed their extremist religious laws on people (men, women and children) people like you remained completly silent on the matter even though women were being stoned to death for crimes against morality, were denied the right to work or study, hell..couldnt even drive a car or go outdoors unless acompanied by a male relative...

now all of a sudden..youre screaming "Obama has to do something..why doesnt he do something...", I never heard, or read anyone crying over why Bush jr didnt "do" something about the human rights violations in afghanistan..hell, his administration even hosted a Taliban delegation at the white house....nobody complained about that either

hypocrites...all..hypocrites...you take up arms when its convineant and supports your views...

Actually I never agreed with this type of thing but still do not believe that it is our right to interfere with the laws and judicial systems of another governmental body........I do agree with the death penalty in the cases of serial killer and murderer would like to add child molesters to that list for the irreperable harm and damage or at the very least not eligible for parole ever........even though I do not believe it is correct to kill someone for petty crimes....but if she was involved in the planning and implemetation of her husbands death......and she was in the US and sentenced to death I think you are correct that no one would be calling for human rights in this issue.......if that is her penalty by there laws for adulterous murder then so be it...............not our right to tell other how to write and implement their laws

you ought to be glad there are people like us that would fight in a war... if everyone was as softhearted as you, then we woulda been overrun years ago...not that you care anything about America.

if everyone was as dedicated to justice and peace ("softhearted" to quote you),as I am, then there would be no wars and soldiers and war mongorers would be obsolete...

but there will always be fearful people who see only the differences not the similarites and fear those differences.

by the way I AM American..I live in South America..you dont own the cornerstone on that either..if you mean to say that I dont agree with US foreign policy then you are very correct to presume that...

well, see you already have it wrong... no one is fearful of differences, thats just an excuse for the left side to use... i'm fearful of some crazy muslim that straps a bomb on to his or her azz, runs into a crowded bus station and yells "for allah"... it has NOTHING to do with any cultural differences...

wow..always making it about you..obviously the person who is willing to blow himself to bits definatly has some mighty fears about the differences he sees in your culture...it has EVERYTHING to do with cultural differences...how is it that you dont get that??

People like me? You have no clue about me obviously.

We had NO diplomatic ties with the Taliban and only two countries even recognized their rule in Afganistan, and we wern't one of them. Hell, the UN wouldn't even recognize them.

I have always despised the Taliban and groups and countries like them. They are mid evil and we should be no part of any of it or be allied with any countries with laws that ok human rights violations like that.

I think we have a right to be fearful, we were blindsided with a sucker punch on a non military target when we were not at war. Here's a hint we didn't start that war.

Oh and if you wanna through Iraq in there go for it, but we were justified the day Saddam and his top people were found guilty of human rights violations and crimes against humanit by a jury of Iraqui's.

If it wern't for America saving everyones azz every time the world would be a darker place.

BTW who is the first country the world looks to when $hit hits the fan? The USA.
