IRAN: LAST MINUTE REPRIEVE FOR WOMAN ON DEATH ROW

Raheleh Zamani, who was found guilty of killing her husband, was spared the death penalty minutes before she was due to be hanged in Iran. Her lawyer stopped Raheleh's death after presenting a letter from the family of her murdered husband, in which they renounced their call for the death penalty. Assieh Amini, the Iranian feminist, who campaigns for women condemned to death, told Adnkronos International (AKI) about Zamani's last minute reprieve.
