In Iran (and other countries), women can be sentenced to death for adultery, political activism, drug use and abuse, homosexuality, among other crimes. Read this article from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/09/05/iran.stoning.pope/index.html?hpt=T2
and this article from Amnesty International: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/amnesty-international/story-of-two-women-two-de_b_642696.html
Discuss your feelings regarding these cases AND
find another case involving a woman and a controversial death sentence (any country - Atefah Sahaaleh, Iran; Aileen Wuornos, US; Wang Ziqi and Tao Minggu, China; Mata Hari, etc) to compare/ contrast major themes and issues.
Include the links to articles or videos found/ used for your explanations.

I think that this cruel act was all apart sexism. I dont think that its right to assaninate a women because of adultury. Men make more mistakes than women do but why do we take the hareder fall when we make the same mistakes as men.
I think every person has the right to do as they please , if a person wants to smoke drugs , drink alcohol , have sex with people of the same sex & ect. they should be able too . They im pretty sure every person is very aware of what they're doing and the concequences .
I think women and men should have the same rights as any other person in the world. We are all equal and should be treated that way,and if it is a bad choice they should accept the concequences with pride for their choice.
i thionk women and men should have the same rights no little or no less everybody should be treated with the same amount of respect
