ecoi.net description:
Confessions made by Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who is awaiting execution by stoning for adultery, her son Sajjad Qaderzadeh, 2 German journalists and Ashtiani's lawyer Javid Houtan Kiyan on state TV; the confessions were presumably made under duress and, therefore, violate the right not to be forced to incriminate oneself
