UPDATE NO. 2: Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani still at risk of being executed; young son is now threatened

Since we issued our first update on Sakineh Mohammadi Astiani’s case last Friday July 9, the Global Campaign to Stop Killing and Stoning Women has received new information that she is still facing the imminent threat of being executed.
