The Iranian government has responded to international pressure against Sakineh stoning of a campaign of harassment and threats.

Updated! During the past few days and possibly because of international pressure have been a series of statements by members of the Iranian government with conflicting reports about the legal status of Sakineh Mohammadi, and whether or not to be stoned. It is necessary that the Iranian authorities to officially clarify their children and lawyers what the current status Sakineh Mohammadi. Meanwhile, we can not exclude that Mohammadi Sakineh be stoned at any time. In addition, the son of Sakineh, Sajjad Qaderzadeh, was quoted in Tabriz central prison, and is believed to have been interrogated by officials of the Ministry of Information, which may have threatened to grant no more interviews about the case of madre.Tu firm is still important. Mohammadi Sakineh

Ashtiani, mother of two, is in jail since 2005. In May 2006 he was sentenced to 99 lashes for having an 'illicit relationship' with two men. Subsequently, was convicted of having an "affair" and was sentenced to death by stoning. At trial, two of the five judges of the court declared her innocent, saying he had been sentenced to flogging and that there was insufficient evidence of adultery against her. However, the other three, including the president of the court, found guilty based on "knowledge the judge, "a principle of Iranian law that allows judges to take a decision regarding the guilt of the accused, even in the absence of clear evidence or conclusive. The Supreme Court upheld the death sentence on May 27, 2007. His pardon depends on the decision of the Amnesty and Clemency Commission, which has denied it twice. The Iranian government issued a statement on July 8 which reported that Mohammadi Sakineh Ashtiani would not be stoned, and thereafter, on 13 July, Iranian Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, dismissed these claims by attributing them to "Western propaganda." Given this situation it is necessary Iranian authorities to clarify their children and lawyers what the current status Sakineh Mohammadi.Hasta that she and her lawyer have received official notification, these contradictory statements not be excluded that Sakineh Mohammadi can be stoned. On July 14, Sajjad Qaderzadeh, son of Sakineh Ashtiani Mohammadi, was quoted in Tabriz central prison, and is believed to have been interrogated by officials of the Ministry of Information, which may have threatened for not granting more interviews on If your mother.

When it seems that forgetting has invaded your living space and medicine so tired shot leaves you in the Gran Via in Madrid, when the distance is the sea currency .
The crest of a tidal wave precedes the pleasure of hearing the sound of a whale.
It is in Madrid, where passerby pulled a cigarette blends with the asphalt, where bursts of voice and word of the Whiteness of the Whale.
The Cordoba two ethnic voice, the passage of time in the eyes of Paul and the youth of a guitar that accompanies the singing clear and deep dream of Argentina, give way to the poet.
Thanks Rodolfo for this afternoon.
Thanks Paul for those short words, savoring the smoke of a cigar outside a Madrid keeps walking.

Tomorrow, or today and Wednesday, Vallecas Radio gives me the opportunity to talk about my poetry and poets who have been and are a benchmark for me to keep writing.
