A massive global outcry stopped an Iranian woman, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, from being stoned to death. However, it is unclear whether Sakineh, who has been in prison since 2006, has had her death sentence lifted.
Sakineh has already been punished with flogging for an "illicit relationship" outside marriage when another court tried her for adultery.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said stoning was a "medieval punishment" and that its continued use showed Iran's disregard for human rights. If the punishment is carried out, it will disgust and appal the watching world."
