VERY true. It seems to me that the threats towards her have become worse again since all the publicity, things seem to be almost the opposite of how they happen in the west. After all, it's over six years since she was condemned. Was it done as an example to the population of what could happen ..... with no plan of it ever doing so?

The two men who actually killed her husband were pardoned under the Islamic/Sharia custom of asking a victim's relatives for forgiveness. This was granted by his children.

They also apparently wished for pardon for their mother so her sentence was changed from stoning to hanging but, as we know, years have gone by.

Re whether she was behind the murder; one of the killers was a lover and she was present when it happened.

Just given as info I've read elsewhere.

I'm in two minds or more about just who is being manipulated and this case has helped the EDL's recruitment.
