TEHRAN, Iran — An Iranian woman who was sentenced to death by stoning for adultery is now facing a new punishment of 99 lashes because a British newspaper ran a picture of an unveiled woman mistakenly identified as her, the woman's son said Monday.

There was no official confirmation of the new sentence. The son, Sajjad Qaderzadeh, 22, said he did not know whether the new lashing sentence had been carried out yet, but heard about it from a prisoner who had recently left the Tabriz prison where his mother is being held.

"Publishing the photo provided a judge an excuse to sentence my poor mother to 99 lashes on the charge of taking a picture unveiled," Qaderzadeh told The Associated Press.

And this is why in the U.S. we decided to separate church from state. Islam-controlled governments have terrible laws.

Ouch. That seems unfair. Even the adultery part. *Waits for thread to turn anti-Islam*

I think some countries need to become more Westernized in regard to treatment of women and accused/convicted individuals.

You'd hope so. However some recent threads I've seen lead me to believe even some Westerners have pretty backwards views when it comes to the treatment of women.

Less Rights =/= Slavery I'm not condoning what Iran is doing at all. But she cheated on her husband (and I also heard she killed someone, not sure if true) and if it's against the law she should be punished.

It's slavery when you are the whim of others and have no rights to yourself. Laws are not always right if they have a disproportionate punishment to the act.

Yes but she's being stoned because a British newspaper ran a picture of her (which turned out NOT to be her) not wearing a veil. I understand the arguments of cultural relativity, but that's messed up wherever you're from.

She had the right and privilege to wear her veil and she didn't. She's a monster.

It wasn't even her to start with....and so what if she doesn't. Government should not enforce religious customs.
