Man stoned to death in Iran for adultery: judiciary

Quote:
A man was stoned to death in Iran for adultery but the woman involved in the case repented, the judiciary said on Tuesday, suggesting her life was spared.

The Islamic Republic has been heavily criticized by the European Union, rights groups and the United Nations for stoning convicted criminals and there are official Iranian recommendations the practice should not occur.

Yeah, those crazy Iranians. Got to love them, or else.
